- Focus: Completing a whole page requires concentration and helps extend their attention span.
- Hand–eye coordination: Staying inside the thick outlines improves coordination between the eyes and hands.

Printing Tips
For the best results, use standard white cardstock paper. This thicker paper prevents markers from bleeding through and holds up better to enthusiastic coloring. Always set your printer to "Actual Size" or "100%" to avoid distortion. You can laminate the simpler apple templates or slip them into sheet protectors. This lets kids use dry-erase markers for reusable tracing and coloring practice.
