First arriving on American shores in 1976, Hello Kitty had been first created in Japan by Ikuko Shimizu just 2 years earlier. Despite being created in Japan, Kitty lives in London with her twin sister and mom and dad. Kitty is actually a twin which many people dont know. Its not surprising as they are identical and only by looking at their bows can we tell which is which. If the bow is on the left side of her face, then it is Kitty we are looking at.
Everyone just assumes her name is indeed "Hello Kitty" but her actual name is Kitty White. You many have noticed that she has no mouth at all! She doesn't need one though as her creator has said she speaks directly from the heart.
On a rainy day in our home we will break out coloring pages and Hello Kitty is always the most popular. If you need a low cost hobby then coloring sheets are they way to go. You probably have a home computer and printer so all you need to do is go to a website with a great choice ( we have one listed below ) and print off as many as you like. This is a great way to help educate your children while they are having fun. Trust me they won't even know they are learning.
Engage your child about the contents of the picture. Where are they going? What will happen next? What are the features on the face? Are they happy or sad? Use this as a way to encourage verbalisation and conversation skills for example. Get your kid to add to the image. Suggest adding features to the clothes or face. Then can anything be added to the background such as cars, trees, weather, people, games etc. By encouraging creativity we help our children consider the world around them more deeply.
Here's a tip, display your childs finished works all over the home, like in the study, hall, bedroom or lobby. By `showing them off` you show your kid your pride and build their feeling of self worth. This will only be reinforced when visitors comment on them in a positive manner.
A childs sense of self-worth can be increased by simply spending time with them in an activity as simple as this. This can only lead to them being a happier little person!
In my home using Hello Kitty coloring pages is one of my youngsters most popular activities. I think this is fantastic as it is so low cost and easy to keep them happy. Few hobbies for little ones are as stress free, thats for sure. In the modern hectic world, this fun activity is a calm oasis. Personally I enjoy the calm time that coloring brings. It is a excellent break from all the loud music and shouting that is so common with kids. Hello Kitty coloring sheets especially continue to be one of the most wanted and demanded by children of all ages, especially with young daughters!
