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 .
