I know there have been threads about this before but who here enjoys coloring for stress relief?

It's very popular among adults now.

I recently got back into it.

We have a coloring club in the social groups if anyone would like to join and share pictures.

I've done it before with friends and I agree, it's a great stress relief and kinda brings me back to my youth...remembering simpler times and all that.
Thanks for this!

I've done it in the past as well, but it slowly faded into the background. I do want to pick it back up again, but all the books are so intricate and detailed...I don't much patience for it. I mean I don't need a Disney coloring book for first graders, but something in between that in the adult books would be nice.

If you have a printer I suggest you search for free downloadable examples. We found hundreds at all levels of complexity, covering all subjects, for my Ex when she was starting out on this pasttime.
