Adult Coloring Books And Stress Reduction

[lvanhook]

I have found on PINTEREST that there are a lot of coloring pages. and Free downloadable pages to be colored. I too find that a busy page irritates me. so I can pick and choose what suits me on Pinterest. key words: adult coloring book, coloring pages etc

Does anyone in the USA know if you can get these adult type coloring books at craft stores like AC Moor...

go online to amazon-that is where I picked up quite a few for under $5 each

I stumbled upon a mindfulness colouring book that I like, but I'm going to keep looking. I keep findin...

Look up Ronnie Walter (author) and her Coloring Cafe books on Amazon. They should be exactly what you are looking for!

Michaels carries them, but I'm in Canada. I'm not sure if the inventory is the same.

Picked up a Christmas themed one on Saturday for my trip out of town this week.

Didn't so much enjoy the ones with crazy shapes and stuff. Made my head go nuts.

I color with what's available. Adult, child, not for that purpose but colorable anyway prints, if the need comes, I try to listen.

Underequipped with colorful crayons though, so thank you all for the reminder of a shopping list. :)

I was turned on to adult coloring books when I was in all day intensive outpatient at the hospital.

I colored all day in group listening and contributing. It helped me stay present and focused on what was going on in group and not "wander off".

I have a lot of books from Dover (this was mentioned already) and I also have the app colorfy on my phone. It helps me a lot too.

It's nice to do something so soothing.

I coloured at the weekend its relaxing choosing which colours go together I also play solitaire games on the computer it does the same thing for me chills me out and occupies some part of my brain that needs occupying. :)

I have been thinking about getting me a coloring book. This thread has been a wonderful thing for me with all of the opinions and variations mentioned. Sounds good to me. I play a couple of games on my I Pad and it is a major distraction to me. It gets me out of my head.

I have one. I have used it now and then, but most days I forget I own it. I am suffering quite badly from short term memory loss, and so forget I own the thing. I run across it sometimes, but am usually to busy to use it. My sister likes to do them though. If I recall, she recommended it to me and I bought it on Amazon.com.

I just backed a Kickstarter called the Sweary Colouring Book. A bunch of really great swear words with lots of pretty designs, but not too complicated looking. I'm looking forward to it arriving in February
