Grab a crayon and join your kids or grandkids when they are coloring in their favorite color books. Better yet, buy a few for yourself. Coloring is a great way to relax. When my kids were little we would bring out the coloring books and crayons and sit for hours bringing color the pictures. Each of us had a book that we would color from and once we finished a picture, we would trade books. It was an enjoyable time for all of us.

Oh, you have brought back great memories for me yet again with another thoughtful post! It has been so long since I have sat down and colored in a picture. Even my own artwork, when I have created any, tends to be just in pencil and not colored in. I did try to learn how to do coloring effects on the computer a few years ago, though, but it is much much harder than picking up a crayon!^_^ Aw, I am thinking back to my many coloring books now.. so many based on cartoon series that I loved. I used to look at those coloring books to draw the characters from them, as well!^_^

I love the Dover coloring books, even as an adult. Some of them have really gorgeous pictures in them. My daughter has a couple that show period costumes from Japan and China, and they're amazingly detailed for coloring books.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElusiveButterfly (9602)   ranked 5 out of 5,019 in family  6 years ago

How wonderful. I enjoy finding coloring books that have detail in them.

Oh yes there are many more adult coloring books, or should I say advanced. They have alot of detail sometimes. I have one with fairies, and one with puzzle type pictues and all kinds of them.

I don't color with crayons though. I like colored pencils. I have over 100 of them. I also like to draw my own pictures so I keep a sketch pad with my coloring books and pencils.

I have to be in the mood though. I don't color on a regular basis...maybe I should.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElusiveButterfly (9602)   ranked 5 out of 5,019 in family  6 years ago

Depending on my mood and what medium my grandchildren have chosen I use crayons or colored pencils.

Colouring is great fun and when my children were younger would love to sit and colour in with them. Such an effort to keep in those lines though but the joy of using different colours and being creative with colour made it quite interesting and it must be good learning for children also.

My kids would point out to me when I went out of the lines! Very observant.
