Autochrome plates were simple to use. They required no special apparatus and photographers were able to use their existing cameras. Exposure times, however, were long—about 30 times those of conventional plates. Even in bright sunshine, an exposure of at least one second was needed, and in cloudy weather this could be increased to 10 seconds or more. Even in a well-lit studio, portraits could require an exposure of as long as 30 seconds. Really young children can use them to learn about colours, how to stay inside the lines and how to combine certain shades. Colouring also improves their vision and fine motor skills that is directly linked to early writing skills. It’s a great creative exercise for coordination and concentration, not to mention how exciting it is to create something from almost scratch. Getting a sense of accomplishment helps kids develop healthy self-esteem from an early age.Children can get so much out of a simple colouring activity. Aside from it being a fun, relaxing and mindful activity, colouring in is one of the key ways that young children can develop their fine motor skills and good pen control. There’s also a clear cross over between colouring and handwriting, so practising one will improve a child’s abilities with the other. Children will also benefit from the opportunity to be creative, and experiment with decision-making to see how that affects the final result. As they practise more and more, kids will learn different shading techniques and begin to choose different types of pen, pencils, crayons or paints to create different effects. Autochrome plate enlarged 50 times to show the individual red, green and blue starch grains, Arthur E. Smith, 1909 It’s never too early to introduce mathematical language and counting - use these counting bears to introduce numbers to your baby’s play! The development of subtractive colour processes followed two distinct paths. Firstly, the design of specialised cameras—for taking sets of colour separation negatives—and secondly, the search for practical methods of making and superimposing three positive images in the complementary colours.

Colouring is a wonderful way for toddlers to start practising holding a pencil or other writing tool. It is also the perfect ‘mark making’ exercise, which is where children learn that the marks they make on paper can carry meaning - this is the start of their literary education. This support was to come from Dr C.E. Kenneth Mees, director of the Eastman Kodak research laboratories in Rochester, New York. In 1922, Mees met with Mannes and Godowsky and, impressed with the quality of their work, agreed to supply them with the materials they needed to continue their research. At this point, they were working on a two-colour subtractive system for colour photography but, after reading about Fischer’s work with colour couplers, they decided to abandon their previous methods and concentrate on developing a three-colour multi-layer film system. It’s never too early to introduce print in your baby’s play! Although they can’t yet read, language-rich environments encourage babies and toddlers to differentiate between the marks that they see. As outlined above, most early colour photography processes were ‘additive’—they relied on the principle of adding together red, green and blue light. Your children may have an accident while at school, so it’s important to always have a first aid kit around. Use our hand-illustrated First Aid Kit Colouring Sheet to teach children first aid from a young age. Help them to understand what to do or where to go if someone gets hurt in the playground or in class.
