I bought one for my mother's birthday as one of her gifts She likes it, but is finding it very involved. I bought one for myself too It's kind of fun, but I like paint by number better.How do you come down on adult coloring books,yay or nay?

I don't do the adult colouring books, but enjoy a child's one with one of the twins, usually Harper and I colour.

Adult coloring books seem alot more involved which isn't always a good thing.

@snowy22315 When I was sick in 1974, I used to do poster art, I think it was called. The pictures came in a canister and you coloured them with thin tipped markers. I want to say that they might have been paint by number, but very very detailed.

@Juliaacv My sister did something like that when she was a kid. It was on black velvet though. It turned out really nicely. My parents still have it.

I have several adult coloring books and a big set of colored pencils. I haven't colored in years.

No, I haven't bought it yet. They look complicated and besides I prefer to paint my own pictures much more. That's nice you bought it for your mom and she likes it.

Yes I have in the past and I have one now that my son's girlfriend gave me for Christmas. Just yesterday I was coloring in it. I have always loved to color.

I am using thin markers. I don;t have any crayons, but I would have preferred colored pencils.

I thought I would love them, since I’ve done a lot of coloring with my younger nieces and nephews.. but like you said, very involved. Too detailed, too many colors in teeny-tiny areas, and I can’t see very well, near or far. I still like the kids coloring books! There, I said it. Haha

I do like adult coloring books and can find it therapeutic unless it is too detailed.

A friend bought me one for my birthday. I liked it, but it took me forever to complete just one page. The areas to color in were so tiny.

A Personal Conviction Never colored an adult coloring book and I do not desire to for me personally it is a Sin. I am a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, so I do not want any part of that at all. If someone brought me that, it will be throwing it in the garbage, period. My faith guides my choices and protects my spirit.
