I've been coloring with my boys' this past week and having a blast. I totally forgot how fun and relaxing coloring could be. It’s also a great outlet for creativity. At first, I was unsure about the whole coloring book for grownup thing, but the moment I saw the book and flipped through the pages, I became really excited about the idea of coloring with my boys. I haven’t tried it yet as a stress reliever; therefore, I can’t really comment on whether it works for that purpose. I can attest to the fact that it kept my teenager’s attention for at least a good hour, if not longer. I mention this because he is on the Spectrum and has ADD and usually the only thing that holds him for any long amounts of times is gaming.
Since this was a family affair, I thought it would also be fun to let the boys also post what they thought. So without further ado, here are their "reviews"...
Ryan (16):
“The book was fun with lots of detail to color in. It had interesting pictures, so I wasn’t bored.”
Jake (12):
“The birds were cool and when completed looked very colorful. There were many fun pages to choose from.”
Evan (11):
“When I was bored it gave me something fun to do. There were lots of cool pictures to choose from. And when finished, it looked awesome.”
Tammy:
With so many choices out there, I wasn't quite sure what to color with. I took to Pinterest and Google. The suggestions were overwhelming to say the least. Before it could do my mind in, I decided to just go as cheap as possible in case this wasn't something I enjoyed doing. - 72 count Cra-Z-Art Colored Pencils - I thought these worked pretty good. As time goes on, if I continue to enjoy coloring, I might upgrade to better quality pencils, while throwing in some markers for better definition.
I loved that while the book is a good size, it is also small enough to carry around in a decent size bag. The quality is top notch and challenging. The lines are close together making it a very decent and colorful picture when you are done (dependent on your color choices of course) All in all, it was a very nicely put together coloring book that myself and my children will have fun with for weeks to come.
I seem to have jumped on the grown up coloring craze band wagon and will definitely be buying more. I can't wait for the Butterfly one to release on the first of October.
