In front of the TV while sitting on a pillow on the floor. It gives my brain time to shut down and relax.
Ive been getting adult color book it is relaxing and can use lots of colors
I like to set up the TV tray, lay out all the colors, and go! I find coloring creative and relaxing.
Love to color with the grand children and also like to do zen doodle.
I like to color on the couch with a glass of wine by my side. Coloring was a favorite past time of mine when I was a child and even though I am grown and have older children, I still buy coloring books for myself. : )
Since I became disabled earlier this year, most of my time is spent on the couch or in bed. I color wherever I am! It helps me distress and takes my mind off of my pain.
I enjoy coloring in my sun room as I enjoy quiet time and nature..TY…
I like to curl up at the end of the day and color to destress.
I love coloring. 2 yrs. ago and I color to use both sides of my brain. I also color to keep me entertained because I don’t go nowhere. Please pick me.
I color wherever I am able to find a quiet space to do it because my life can be very hectic.
I like to color at home because it’s relaxing 🙂
I color by myself while waiting in doctor’s offices or other places. I color with the preschoolers at my job. Trying to instill the love of coloring in as many children as I can.
I color at the kitchen table sitting with my mother. I am her caregiver (she is 88, blind and has dementia). Coloring allows me to mentally get away for a much needed break but still be there for her.
I usually color in my comfy chair in the evenings – it’s a great way to relax before going to bed.
I like to color with my friends. We can relax and talk and create beautiful pictures.
I would like to try using it in multiply ways. I would love to do this with my child in the evening to relax and visit together.
I think I would love to view the prints more carefully because they are so detailed. I am a teacher and I wonder if there is a way to teach patterns and some math or science terms with them while teaching. They might be a fun way to introduce animal reports or the cover page.
Also I go with my 78 year old mother to the senior hall occasionally to play games. They do coloring contests. These books I believe would be great for older people also because of the details. As the brain ages it is important to work it by reading, puzzles…etc. It helps memory. These books with the extreme detail would be good for that like a coloring puzzle. I think they look so delightful , I would have to tell and show my friends and work friends about them. I think they may have similar interests and uses.
I like coloring as a source of inspiration for my crocheting. I use the design to make romanian crocheted doilies and pictures.
I like to color at night with a glass of wine
I would love to be the recipient of your giveaway. I love to color. I usually just color in my home…bedroom, living room, but also I love to color with my granddaughter when I go to visit them. We both enjoy coloring together.
I like to color on my coffee table while sitting on the floor like I did when I was a kid. It’s a great stress reliever and gets the creative “juices” flowing. Plus I always feel a sense of accomplishment when a page is complete.
I love to color & I love to present unusual coloring sheets to the kids I work with.
I like to color at my kitchen table while drinking a cup of coffee. It calms and quiets my mind.
I like to color at my desk because it’s comfortable for me and I have good lighting. And I like to color just because it’s fun and relaxing!
I color anywhere and everywhere. I have coloring books, crayons, markers, colored pencils, and paints at home. I also have the Colorfy app on my tablet for when I’m out and about. Coloring is very zen for me and allows me to keep in touch with my inner child.
I love to color…instant gratification!
Any blank space is subject to be colored! Especially if I am at my desk, listening to a conference call. It relieves the stress and boredom.
I love to color any where any time. I broke my ankle and foot. So I am stuck in bed, so I’ve taken in coloring. And it’s always been a big stress reliever. I have a coloring book in each car, in my purse, so I can color if need be!!
At my desk loved coloring as a child and with my kids and now with there kids
Relieve Stressssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sitting on my deck in the fresh air. It’s relaxing and rejuvinating!
I always love to color! It’s been one of my favorite activities since I was a child. Christmas ALWAYS included a Christmas coloring book which would last until January. Then it was onto a new one. Maybe Snow White….maybe Sleeping Beauty. Perhaps Winnie the Pooh! It didn’t matter. As long as I had a coloring book and CRAYOLA crayons, life was always good! Today, as an adult, I still love to color. But now, I may use colored pencils or markers, for a different look. Coloring takes your mind on a creative journey! My favorite places to color are my living room in front of the fireplace, and during Christmas, in front of the tree. Summertime, I like to spread a nice blanket out under my favorite tree. Life is good whenever you’re coloring!
I like to color in the park. I live in New York City. On nice days i can walk to park and the scenery is just what i need to relax. Coloring at home becomes a task when you have children, pets to tend to, but outside i can just let it flow
I like to color where ever its quiet and I can hear birds.
I relax while watching tv or a movie and coloring.
I am a retired factory worker and a great-grandma…I have worked with my hands all my life and the coloring is a great way to keep my hands moving…they stiffin up so.I curl up on the couch with my cats and color away…..
Because my grandkids won’t let me color with them anymore because I totally take over the coloring books and they end up watching me color.
My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for about a year now, and some of the hormones I have been taking have been an emotional roller coaster. I love crafting but, at times, I feel too tired or bummed to get out all of the supplies. So, now I have a couple coloring books and my colored pencils on the end table next to the sofa. Sometimes I color while watching TV and other times I color in total silence. The beauty of it is that I feel I am being creative and productive, and I’m also not sitting and worrying constantly. It has been a major
(finishing previous comment)
It has been a major source of stress relief. It takes my mind in better places when I need it most.
I like coloring in my friend’s art room. Perfect lighting and a beautiful view while chatting!
Love to color with my granddaughters but would love to graduate from little kids coloring to grown-up coloring.
I love to color in the living room while relaxing and unwinding. Very relaxing!
I like to color to release stress. It’s very relaxing.
I like to color in the local library during my lunch hour. It’s a nice way to relax midday and feel productive even if everything is going to pieces at work.
I restarted coloring about a month ago. I take it everywere with me! It is so relaxing!
I like to color anywhere! I love these books, can’t choose a favorite!
I color sitting on the back deck in the early morning. I love the sun coming up and the bright colors on the pages. It makes me truly hapy
I love coloring anytime, anywhere. It helps me to wind down from long days/night of being a mommy of two (almost 3) and EMT work.
I love to color at home. It is really relaxing and a good way to unwind and clear my mind.
I love coloring! I usually color on the couch. I have chronic pain and it helps me forget my pain for a while. Anything that makes me forget about my pain and produces something pretty in the process is a win in my book!
On the porch in my swing. On the couch watching TV. In my favorite chair. In my craft room. I love to color!
