Yy Yo-Yo Phonics Colouring

Meet the friendly yo-yo on this Yy early-learning colouring page. Say 'Y is for Yo-Yo' slowly, listen for the first sound, and point to both the uppercase and lowercase letters before colouring them. Begin with two or three bold colours on the yo-yo's broad circular stripes. Use a contrasting colour for the string loop, then colour the stars and block brightly. Use gentle pressure for light areas and firmer pressure where you want bold colour. Keep a few tiny white highlights in any eyes or shiny surfaces so the picture stays lively. Children can trace the outlined Yy letters with a crayon, colour inside them, and repeat the word Yo-Yo aloud. This page supports round strokes, stripe patterns and the clear Y sound. Younger artists can enjoy the largest shapes, while older children can add simple patterns, blend two related colours, and practise writing the letter pair on separate paper.
