You ever find yourself shuffling through a deck of Pokémon cards and wonder if the Pokémon creators ever thought the world they created would still be around a quarter of a century later? Moreover, did you ever imagine you’d still be caught up in the Pokémon world 25 years later? Funny how parenthood brings you full circle like that! Known as “pocket monsters” in Japan, Pokémon came about in 1995. What started from a deck of cards full of adorably dangerous creatures quickly turned into a giant, money-making franchise involving television shows, video games, books, merchandise, an app game and so much more. These days, kids are more likely to know the names of Pokémon than of dinosaurs. They’re more intrigued with vaporeons than with velociraptors. But, like, who wouldn’t be? I’m sure your kids can attest, it’s way more fun.

13. Teachers Pay Teachers

Whenever possible, hitting up Teachers Pay Teachers for coloring pages and other activities is a great idea.

Head over to any online retailer and browse around for a mini-book that collates the most fun Pokémon coloring pages. You might even be able to find a specific coloring book for the characters and dragons your little one loves the most.

How to Draw Pokémon

Need a step-by-step guide to drawing your own Pokémon? After all, isn’t it more fun to color in your very own artwork? Luckily outlets like DragoArt and various fan-created YouTube videos take die-hard fans through all the details and fail-proof guides to drawing your own Pikachu and Charizard, among many more.

What is Pokémon Go?

If your little ones are interested in coloring in and drawing Pokémon characters, their next request may be to hunt them, which they can do by playing Pokémon Go. By downloading the app on their phones, which is available on both iOS and Android devices, they can bring the pocket monster universe to life in a way the cards never quite could. The app uses GPS to place different Pokémon within your area. It’s a great way to break up the COVID-19 boredom your little ones may be feeling. Your kids can play this indoors and around the house or in the backyard, and as they walk around they’ll run into their favorite Pokémon, which pop up on their devices. When the kids are finished coloring, they can literally “catch ’em all” by throwing digital Poké Balls at the creatures they find to capture them.

The Pokémon Go app makes the experience even more realistic by placing certain creatures in environments based on their habitat. For example, your kids will find many bug-like Pokémon in the park and aquatic ones near lakes or oceans.
