Colouring in books aid my relaxation.

Hope

I have discovered a new form of therapy: colouring in books with coloured pencils. I prefer the ones aimed at children; they are cheaper and have interesting pictures in them covering different themes, like the sea-side. The adult ones tend to revolve around patterns and do not interest me.

Do any other members here share this hobby?

  • I don't share your hobby but I can see how it would be soothing. 

    I don't like having a colouring book around at the moment because my young children would colour it in "wrong" i.e. go over the lines and things that drive me mad.  Of course its not fair to object to this if its their book and their self expression, but it makes me feel uncomfortable - for the same reason I don't like messy painting activities and leave those to the school and nursery.  I can cope with stickers and freehand drawing though.
