I thought I&#8217;d take some of the effort of finding good colouring pages for them by posting the top 21 of what I consider to be the best colouring pages on the net!

While I can&#8217;t look through every colouring page on the net, these are the ones I found to be best based on quality, quantity and variety. If you have some good pages to contribute, please live the links in the comment section of this post. Happy colouring!</p>

<li>Download and print the worksheet.</li>
<li>Get some yellow, magenta(red) and cyan(blue) paint, some water to rince and a paintbrush.</li>
<li>Starting with the yellow colour (otherwise it will dirty and won&#8217;t work properly), pain the top circle.</li>
<li>Clean the brush and do another circle. Show your child how the colours mix when they meet each other.</li>
<li>Complete the third circle.</li>
<li>When the paint has had a chance to dry, name the colors that are formed between each set of primary colours. Write the colour-name on the corresponding line.</li>
