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 .

  10. Yes,still do and have a collection of different sets of crayons. My world is about color. I have to buy 24 count sets every year before school starts. One for me and donate the rest. I love the smell of crayons and it’s quite relaxing to color.

  12. My aunt, who is in her 70s (shhh don’t tell I mentioned her age) has always loved to color. As a kid I loved when she colored with me. And I still like to color too. Stamped images are one of my favorites to do. This looks like a awesome coloring book.

  13. Yes, I color! These books are a wonderful way to get lost. I purchased one of Millie Marotta’s books last year…but it seems to have grown legs, grabbed the crayons, and wandered off somewhere …I strongly suspect that it found it’s way to my daughter’s home!
