Abstract	Young children's colouring activities are an educational resource, providing an opportunity for children to express their feelings about the people and objects in their lives. To our knowledge, no systematic empirical research has yet addressed the question of how individualised children's colouring materials with a healthy message impact physical activity patterns and movement experiences in the early childhood education context. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse, following a quasi-experimental design, the impact of an individualised physical activity colouring pages on young children's physical activity patterns, through pedometry and systematic observation during outdoor movement sessions. Furthermore, children's drawings and narratives were used to explore children's movement experiences to the individualised colouring activity pages. Our results suggest that the individualised ad hoc colouring materials can promote increased physical activity levels, but more importantly, children had the opportunity to discover new movement possibilities and explore their capabilities. In conclusion, it is really important for a wider range of early childhood education teachers to consider how creating their own materials might encourage more movement possibilities and active behaviours among young children.
