I always enjoyed coloring as a child. It was a relaxing and creative activity that I gravitated to daily. Even now as an adult, I thoroughly enjoy coloring and doodling.

I spent many hours coloring with my children when they were younger. It’s a fun activity to do together with kids of all ages and a great way to find the opportunity to talk with your child and spend time together.

There are many benefits to coloring for both children and adults.
