Hi friends!
I don’t know about you, but I’m a big fan of adult coloring books.
I know that they’re not a new concept anymore and they’ve been around for a while now, but a lot of people still do some eye-rolling at the idea of an adult using a coloring book.
But there are actually SO many benefits of adults using coloring books. Benefits for both mental and sometimes even physical ailments.
I thought I’d share many of the benefits with you today. Plus, I created FREE adult coloring pages in case you’re interested in trying it out. 😊
So, let’s just jump into it!
Adult coloring books can improve your mental health by…
- reducing stress and anxiety
- putting your mind in a meditative state
- clearing negative thoughts
- teaching you mindfulness
- improving your motor skills and vision
- improving your quality of sleep
- making you more creative
- exercising your entire brain
- forcing you to focus
- distracting you from physical pain and distress
Adult coloring can also have benefits for people who suffer from physical health conditions such as cancer, epilepsy, and dementia. They’re beneficial for SO many different reasons!

I love these pages. Coloring can always calm someone down. I haven’t colored in so long. I should do it!
Coloring can be so therapeutic, thanks for creating this printable.
Lots of good information, Tami! I just wrote an article about adult coloring and shared free coloring pages also… there are so many benefits to adult coloring! Thanks for sharing!
I was gifted with an adult coloring book but have only done a few pages. It does help calm me down especially when days when I know that a melt down is about to occur. I think I should spend time on coloring more often!
I love adult coloring pages. I haven’t colored any in a while though. I’ll have to print some out and get back to it. I do think it’s very relaxing.
I love to color especially with gel pens. I’ll have to print off these coloring sheets so that I have something new to color.
Wow! This is such a really coloring book! I would really love to try this! My son would love this for sure!
Coloring can be very relaxing. It is interesting that these are considered adult coloring books! My mom always bought them for us when we were in our tweens.
These are lovely coloring pages. It is nice to have something to wind down with and be able to feel more relaxed. I could totally see myself doing some coloring at the end of a long day.
Art can do wonders for ones soul. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
