Art therapy // Colouring in for grown ups

Sunday, 21 June 2015

Aloha! I thought I'd blog about something a little bit different today. 
I've seen loads of people posting on Instagram about colouring books for adults. I dunno about you, but I loved colouring as a kid and was really keen to try it out! 
So I got my hands on this book. 
It is available on Amazon for £6.99 which seems quite steep for a colouring book but I guess it is a bit more sophisticated than what you used as a kid. 
Mikey has been away 2 weekends in a row so I've been feeling particularly anxious, especially as we have just moved to a new flat in a new area. So I though this would be a good time to test out the anti stress power of colouring in! 
It was definitely relaxing, and distracts you from whatever is going on around you (kids running riot outside in my case), which is good. And also if you are a big kid like me, it's good fun too! 
I'd definitely recommend this to anyone, even if it does seem a bit sad to still be colouring in at 22 years old! 
Here is the first picture I finished colouring.
Of course I did the cat one first. 

Have you tried colouring for grown ups? Did you find it to relieve stress?
