I was wondering how many of you guys used adult coloring books? I’m not sure when they became a big thing, but they sure seem to be now. I think someone bought me one, once.

My daughter bought me one when I was stuck in the hospital. I colored several pages. I gave it to my wife when she went into the rehab after her hospital stay. I still have all the coloring books the kids used from preschool to when they moved out or stopped using them. It's fun to look back and how the scribbles turned into pieces of art as the years passed.

I have some, and lots of markers, crayons, colored pencils, but it just does not relax and calm me like they claim it should.

It is said to calm adults, and reduce stress. It’s a really big market right now.

I don't have the traditional adult coloring but i do enjoy the digital app where yiu just pick the color and then apply it more like a color-by-number thing. It's relaxing and destressing to do.

I know that I have a few colouring books and there are also a few boxes of coloured pencil around.

I remember deriding them on here when they first came out which just shows how much I know about what is likely to become a craze. It's really not for me but many find it therapeutic and I've learnt to keep my mouth firmly shut about them.

It is a hobby , it fills in the time. I don’t use one but my friends do. It is therapeutic.

Adult coloring books have become surprisingly popular over the last decade! It brings back childhood memories in a soothing, harmless way.

It's a good thing to do it for fun and to pass the time.

I remembering some one else posted about this, they say they very popular. I am like a old dog who can't learn new tricks in some ways, not all. I go with listening, doing makes me go dammit I am not that old, OK, maybe I am.

I got some that were given to me but I have never had the time to use them. I might put them in one of the little libraries here.

I have one that a friend gave me--swearing cats. I've never actually used it though. A couple of years ago I was in a therapy program and several women would sit and color through the sessions.

We used colouring books in our kindergarten school.
