Book Giveaway: Animal Kingdom: Color Me, Draw Me by Millie Marotta

October 21, 2014 by Stefanie Girard

animal kingdom millie marotta Today I have a really fun giveaway, enter to win an an adult coloring book called Animal Kingdom: Color Me, Draw Me by Millie Marotta by leaving a comment in today’s post answering the question, “As an adult do you color?” by October 3oth , 2014. Open to U.S. and Canada residents only please.  I am on the coloring bandwagon. I can’t wait to try all the fun animals in this book especially the bunnies and squirrels that are just darling. If you haven’t tried it lately I highly recommend it! So fun and relaxing.

Coloring in sheets are a great way to calm the busy mind, as you focus on the coloring techniques your brain is actually able to calm itself and focus on less. Coloring is used to help relax and calm anxiety and stress. Coloring keeps out mental health in check and allows us to develop of creative brain. We highly recommend Copic markers or Faber castell coloring pencils .

    I’ve always loved to color but for some reason I stopped doing it a few years ago. Now I have an almost-4-year-old, so I’m finding an interest again!

    YES! I have 8 kids, so YES! A friend once told me, “A coloring book is cheaper than therapy!”

    Even though my daughter is now 12, we still on occasion get the crayons and markers out and color.
    Great way to have a conversation without her realizing it!

    I adore colouring, it allows me to achieve something, when my illness makes me too tired to do anything else. I have always had “mommy`s pens and pencils, & my daughter’s, with strict instructions that No one but mommy uses mommy`s. Is that horrid???
