Color My (Microbial) World!I LOVE to color! I'm not picky - I enjoy coloring with my grandchildren in coloring books with wonderful-smelling crayons and coloring with colored pencils in adult coloring books with geometric designs or in meditation coloring books I found in Japan. They are therapeutic as you color geometric shapes and meditate on a topic - focusing your thinking and quieting your mind. Coloring is really an enjoyable activity for me. And, we all know that coloring is a good activity for children to help them develop fine motor skills and promote creative thinking as they experiment with color and design.So we have created a nanobugs coloring book for our website. It can be fun (and educational) for all ages. The nanobugs images are simplified and drawn with closed lines for coloring. Go to "Activities" to find the coloring book. There are several coloring options: you can print out the nanobug character and color it with crayons or markers or you can use the crayon "mouse" and color freehand or you can use the paint "mouse" and fill in the areas. Then you can print out your completed picture and post it on the refrigerator or on a bulletin board. Have some fun with the nanobugs - color them as the original art (many times the color chosen for the nanobug is significant because that is the way it appears under the microscope -other times a color is chosen just to create an "attitude") or just go crazy and color any color that pleases you. Right now I have a purple Aspergillus fumigatus on my refrigerator done by my elder daughter, Hannah (the nanobugs product manager and mother of 4). She was sooooooo proud when I displayed her brightly- colored nanobug on my fridge!
