Ever wonder how to encourage your littles to color in the lines, use colors that make sense, and cover all the white space? Well, this is it! They will be begging for their "stars" on all of their drawings and coloring. Many littles start school not being taught how to color, or even how to properly hold a crayon. It falls to us to teach them these basic skills. This product is a great encouragement to help them WANT to learn these skills.

Included in this product:

• 3 Star Coloring Poster
• 15 practice coloring pages
• Desk Tags
• Sticky Note Template

After teaching the 3 Star Coloring, you can have them practice on the Practice Coloring Pages. Print them a desk tag to help them remember to do 3 Star Coloring all the time. And once they learn the skills, you can use the sticky note template to print out sticky notes, with the 3 Star Coloring Rules so they can get their stars on a temporary piece of paper. This is great for those projects that you may not want to write on or put stickers on.
