If you follow my blog, you know I love to craft.
DIY projects take me longer than they used to because I do it a bit at a time over a period of days, but I really enjoy it. I love challenging my brain to create something and I love how making things with my hands relaxes me.
But, with three kids it’s hard to find time to do stuff for myself. On really busy days, I consider eating lunch not standing up a gold sticker achievement. ? However, I’ve recently started enjoying an activity that I can do WITH my kids, that is also beneficial to me.
You may have heard that adult coloring is a thing and is all the rage. Believe it or not, coloring has been found to reduce stress and focus the mind. I know this is true because I feel more relaxed when I’m doing it. Coloring has been a great way to pause my day and get creative.
I’m not talking about grabbing your child’s Crayola box with one of their cartoon character coloring books, though.
I’m talking about getting your OWN art supplies that could run circles around a crayon.
You can find all of these amazing Prismacolor adult coloring supplies at your local Staples. My favorite product is the Prismacolor Watercolor Pencil Set. They can be used wet or dry.
Once you pick up what you need, it’ll be hard not to enjoy a colorful summer with your kids.
Illustrator Evelyn Henson has designed a free summer coloring book (available for download), filled with fun summer travel destinations and summer scenes.
Henson has created colorful and happy art that inspires you to celebrate the little things and always spark fun wherever you go.
Coloring pages include scenes from Spain, New York City, Paris, Mexico, Italy, California and more.
