EASY WAYS TO USE DIGITAL COLOURING PAGES WITH YOUR STUDENTS:
Here are some ideas for using these digital colouring pages with your students:
1) Set them as distance learning activities:
At this current time, we're not sure how long distance learning will go on for, but even after it's over most teachers will likely to still be setting home learning tasks. Assignments such as digital colouring pages are so easy to set for your students, or they could be offered as optional tasks to support well being, relaxation and mindfulness at home or at school.
2) Ideal for parents to share with their children:
These are not just for teachers! They also make great activities to share with your own children at home. There is no need to print a thing and at least your children will be doing something healthy for their well-being while on their digital devices!

3) Set as activities for early finishers:
Many teachers who reach out to me about how they have used quote colouring pages said they love to use them as work for early finishers! Why not save on the printing and have these digital versions in your arsenal too! Because they work so well on any device, your students could even use their own phones if so permitted in your school.
4) Practicing mouse control:
Do you have children who need to practice mouse control? These digital colouring pages are a fantastic tool to help them with this! They can use the mouse to colour in intricate details of varying complexities depending on their skills, and be inspired by powerful quotes in the process!

6) Design their own desktop backgrounds and posters:
Once they have completed their pages, the benefit of these digital colouring pages is that they can easily save a digital copy of their work. That means they can set their designs as their computer desktop or phone screensaver if they wish, to help keep them inspired all day long. As an extra bonus, these pages are printable too, should you want to display these up on your classroom walls afterwards!
7) Send to others via email or messenger:
Another bonus of having these saved as a digital file, is that they can easily send them to their friends and family via email or messenger. During these challenging times of social distancing, it's even more important than ever to keep connected, and what a more personal and special way than a specially coloured inspirational quote poster just for them!
