Coloring: It's Not Just for Kids

Most adults probably think it is silly to spend time coloring. If we have time to color, we probably have time to exercise, fold laundry, watch our favorite show, buy groceries, and so on. To be honest, when I was a child I did not enjoy coloring. I preferred drawing or creating my own art, not coloring in someone else's art. But recently, I have enjoyed coloring along side the small children I nanny. I find it therapeutic to select the perfect color for each component of the picture. Now that I am an adult, coloring feels like a temporary escape from the pressures of always being responsible. The added bonus is that when I color with the kids, they seem more engaged in the activity, and definitely more calm.

Here is an article published in the New Your Times about a coloring book creator popular with the adult set:
