Why coloring books?

  • Coloring books can focus you mind on the here and now.
  • Choosing the colors you want to use engages your creativity in a relaxing, non-pressured way
  • You can choose colors and color combinations for tranquility or excitement.
  • The repetitive movements of coloring engage fine motor skills.
  • If it is an educational coloring book, the time and attention that it takes to color allows the brain to remember the information more deeply.
  • Color at your own pace – it isn’t a race!
  • Get away from the screen and connect to an art that has been practiced since the dawn of history – or at least since the invention of the printing press!
