Winter Coloring
Mikey doesn’t like choosing his own colors when coloring. I detail this quirk of his in the post below.
That said, if I have time to sit with him and hand him each color as he starts a new section, he really enjoys coloring. So, on this winter day, we chose some winter-themed coloring pages and we sat together for some fun, relaxing coloring.
The crayon caddy was a gift from my mom and Mikey loved it! It kept all the crayons in order and he could put each one back in its place after he was done. Added bonus: it spins! Organized, artistic and stimmy!! What’s not to love?
