The Sneeze 2

Coloring on standard paper with colored pencils is usually a pleasant activity for young children. Short colored pencils are very easy to handle for small hands. We always prefer soft crayons as the creamy wax allows the intense pigments to blend effortlessly. Regular 80/90 gsm paper handles pencil strokes well; however, paper with a weight above 100/120 gsm, with a matte finish and some texture, can make the experience more enjoyable and desirable as a recurring activity.

For example, focusing on selecting colors and staying within the lines makes you think only about the present moment. The sound of the crayon on slightly porous paper has a relaxing effect that encourages calm and concentration.
