Color, Talk & Tell: Preschool Conversation & Storytelling Toolkit
Color, Talk & Tell: Preschool Conversation & Storytelling Toolkit
A coloring page can open the door to a whole conversation.
Color, Talk & Tell is a free 12-page printable resource that helps adults turn coloring, drawing, and picture time into opportunities for children to think, communicate, imagine, and tell stories.
Created for preschool educators, child care providers, family child care programs, parents, and caregivers, the toolkit can be used in the classroom, during small groups, at a coloring center, or right at home. No special materials or training are needed.
Inside the toolkit:
- 20 open-ended conversation and storytelling cards
- Five prompt categories: Notice, Imagine, Feel, Create, and Tell
- Simple ways to encourage children to share more
- Support for children who communicate through words, gestures, movement, or drawing
- Five easy classroom and child care activity ideas
- A reproducible My Picture Has a Story page
- A family take-home conversation sheet
Use the prompts with coloring pages, children’s drawings, picture books, block creations, or anything that gives a child something to notice and talk about.
Download your free copy and make more room for children’s ideas, imagination, and stories.
