Has any of you tried the new hype of adult coloring books? What are your thoughts about it. Did it help ease your stress? I received one as a gift early this year and now its just sitting at the bottom of my bedside table. I want to finish it however it seems like I don't have the time to do it.

I learned about adult coloring in my stress reduction class, in the beginning l was "are you kidding me?" but have to admit l enjoyed getting out my creative side

Were you able to finish the whole book? Its good to know you were able to enjoy it.

I've done a little but generally I find drawing them more fun than coloring them. Though, I do like coloring in my sample pages for sale. I've also seen that folks sell the single pages so you can print them out at home instead of buying the whole book.

I have seen those books all over the bookstore though I haven't tried buying one. But there is an app for iPad and I downloaded it. Much easier to color rather than the real book.

Nope never tried a physical one but I do have a coloring app on my phone. Its really just something to pass the time, I am more inclined to crosswords, word searches, and sudoku puzzles myself.

Maybe it's just me... but not in the least. I had already tried Mandelas and I spent more time trying to decide what color I should use... always worried that I would pick up the wrong color! I sincerely hope that it does work for someone else however!!

I had fun doing it at first however it wont fit into my bag whenever I travel and takes too much space if I also bring my set of coloring pencils.

My daughter @Rohvannyn is busy creating a fantasy dragon coloring book right now. I've personally not tried the idea out.

I have not done the color book but have printed some off the internet. I find coloring is very relaxing. But I also love to do art stuff. I saw on the stands now they have cute small ones to put in the purse but not sure if I want to spend 5.00 on them. LOL
