I have loved coloring ever since I was little, I was 16 and still coloring children's coloring books! When the adult coloring books came out I was really excited! It had been a long time before I actually bought one but I still have pages that I haven't colored yet. If you haven't tried the adult coloring books, I HIGHLY recommend them! Why do I color even though I'm not 5 years old anymore? Well, I have always loved bringing color and art into things. Coloring is a very calming hobby, at least to me. I love seeing something black and white turn into a multitude of colors. Are you an adult that still likes to color?

What is the difference between the children and the Adult coloring books? I have heard of the adult one but never did it.

@AnnaAutopsy Anna, thank you for explaining that to me. I did not know much about adult coloring books before. I have heard of them.

@AnnaAutopsy Thanks Anna and I may do that. Right now I have too much going on to deal with that it will have to wait.

Kids coloring books have less detail, they're more cartoon style. Adult coloring books are more detailed, with less cartoon style depending on the coloring book that you buy.

Hi Anna. I do not see anything wrong with coloring. I found a brand new coloring book and fresh new crayons, and I am going to color again for the first time in years.

Yes, I loved to color as a child and still do. I have an adult coloring book & colored pencils and have a blast coloring in it. It is artistic and calming for me.

I know exactly how you feel! I just recently found Lisa Frank adult coloring books. I was so happy because I grew up with that brand, I guess you could call it? Lol!

I have at least 5 "adult" coloring books. I have a Star Wars one, Harry Potter, flowers, mandalas, and other nice designs.

I saw the Harry Potter one before, it was definitely something I wanted to get when I could find it again. They sound really nice :)
