The three star coloring system comes from an amazing TPT creator, One Kreative Kindergarten,  who offers many high quality products. This particular product is best for early elementary through kindergarten.

Often, when students begin coloring, they hurry through their work. This product encourages students to take their time and follow the three points.

This product encourages artistic expression. Students need to cover the entire picture that they draw with color.

What you get with this product 

• A three star coloring system rubric indicates what needs to be done to receive one, two or three stars.
• 19 topic sheets that students can draw and color pictures based on the system
• 18 topic sheets that students can draw pictures and write sentences about

How I use this product

• I hung the three star coloring system rubric up, so the students would know what is expected.
• I have the students draw and color their pictures, using the system.
• We are at the beginning of kindergarten, so I don’t have them write sentences to go along with the pictures.

Benefits of the Three Star Coloring System

• Kids did not rush through their coloring.
• Students paid attention to detail and made sure their colors were appropriate.
• Students displayed a greater degree of creativity.
• The activity lasted longer and student didn’t finish in 30 seconds.

I am really surprised at how much my kindergarten students love this activity. I throw in some markers, and I think they can spend hours using this product.

Older kids can also use this as the product incorporates writing.

The three star coloring system proves to be a huge hit with my class of kinders. We give it not 3, but 5 stars. Find it here for 3.00.
