Kids typically start coloring between the ages of 3 and 4.
While children may scribble and experiment with crayons earlier, it's usually around 3-4 years old that they begin to develop the fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination necessary to color with more intention.
Coloring Milestones by Age:
| Age | Milestone |
|---|---|
| Around 3-4 Years | * Coloring within lines: Can color roughly within the lines of simple shapes. |
| * Tracing: Begin tracing thick horizontal lines without going off the line much. |
These milestones are approximate, and every child develops at their own pace.
