Can a 15-month-old do coloring?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

For a 15-month-old, "coloring" doesn't mean deliberately drawing a conscious shape. At this age, babies are typically in the early "scribbling" stage. A baby can grasp a marker (usually with a whole-hand fist grip) and make random lines or dots on paper or any surface. This is a natural phase of hand-eye coordination and fine motor development.

If you want to try, finger paints (paint applied with fingers, made from edible materials) or washable, chunky, short marker crayons work better for this age. The goal is not fine art but letting them experience color, texture, and the satisfaction of leaving marks. Without artistic expectations and thinking of it as fun sensory play is the best approach.
