Steps:

1. Print out coloring activities from all genders, all together pdf. 
2. Have the child choose their coloring activity. 
3. Talk through the worksheet and give explicit attention to the characters name and their pronoun. Explain that you will use the persons pronoun to direct the child what to color in.
