Art Therapy – Free Coronovirus Coloring Sheet Printable

by

coronavirus coloring sheet

This free coloring printable has two purposes and we cover them both below.

One: you can color it in for a little bit of crafty creative fun to help find the creativity in a very stressful situation.

Second: this coloring sheet can be used to help distract adults and children whilst being topical. Focusing on the present helps you achieve mindfulness. Covid-19 news is all around us in the media, in the streets and we can’t avoid it, but what we can do is take away the fear by creating a non-stressful visual approach to the virus.

Coloring has the ability to relax the fear centre of your brain and is considered a good ‘mind exercise’ because it utilizes both sides of the brain whilst occupying it at the same time.

Coloring has been used to alleviate pain from headaches as well as comfort a sick child. This sheet is a great way to get older kids to use the printable to help alleviate any anxiety they may have about the current world situation. This sheet also opens up communication between children and teens about Coronavirus and gives you a blank canvas to discuss any concerns they may be having.

This printable has been custom designed for CraftGossip.com so please do not re-distribute it without our consent. The download can be printed on A3 or A4, so make sure to adjust your print size accordingly.

Snow Globe Crafts for Kids

Whether you have snow where you live or are on the wrong side of the world for that, these snow glob crafts for kids are a lot of fun to put together at home or in the classroom.

If you want to keep it super basic, you can download some snow globe coloring pages from Monday Mandala and have kids drawn in their own images (or color in what is there for the ones that are already filled). This could be a fun way to play with different media, having kids paint in one, draw in another, or use crayons in one, colored pencils in another, etc.

Or you can add your kid (or a classroom full of kids) to snowglobes with this craft from Twitchetts. It’s easy to make and fun for kids to help with, too.

You can also make snow globes with paper plates pretty easily, and there are lots of different options out there that should give you some ideas. This one from In the Playroom uses blue glittery pompoms as the snow and has a snowman in the background (though you can use whatever you want).

Mas and Pas uses a clear plate on top of a regular plate to make its snow globe, and Daydream into Reality just uses a paper plate to make the snow globe shape but there’s no snow involved. Their template includes different images you can put in the snow globe, or draw your own.

If you want to make a snow globe without the watery (so potentially less mess) you can make a waterless snow globe out of a plastic cup with this tutorial from The Pragmatic Parent. It uses tiny foam balls as the snow. Tidy Mom’s version uses a real glass jar and fake snow to flurry around.

And if you’re OK with using liquids in your snow globe, which will allow the snow to flutter like in a real snow globe, check out this version from 123 Homeschool 4 Me, which uses water and baby oil.
