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.

@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.

@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.

I used to have a coloring phase. That was years ago though. I can't sit down and color anymore. My ADHD is really bad.

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

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

Yay! I see that's a positive activity. It's can be a great way to relax, de-stress, and express creativity.
