• Loss of Interest: Children may lose interest in coloring if the activity becomes boring. To keep them engaged, try breaking the coloring into shorter segments. Introduce storytelling alongside coloring to make it more interactive and imaginative. This combination can catch their attention and encourage them to finish their work with confidence.
