What fabulous posts! You've received a lot of great ideas from everyone.
+1 to everything doubtfulguest said!
For coloring, a fun game-changer is to draw a background or add one's own elements into the picture. If your child enters a local coloring contest, this extra element of joyful creativity can attract more attention than an entry which is painstakingly colored within the lines.
Frustration with coloring may indicate that kiddo would like to experiment with different media and compare the results.
Good luck with this.
