The neat thing about coloring pages is that they can be used as discussion starters. Depending on the age of your children, consider asking questions to go deeper. Here are some ideas:

- Which coloring page is your favorite? Why?

- What similarities do you see between the coloring pages and the person with a brain tumor? What is different?

- The human body is so interesting! What is something new you learned from these pages?

- What else are you curious about? Do you have any questions?

- What is something we can do to help the person with a brain tumor?

- How did these coloring pages make you feel?

- Who can you go to when you have big feelings? What makes you feel better when you are having a tough time?


It is helpful to tell children they can ask questions, voice concerns, and tell you and other trusted

adults about their feelings at any time.
