La La Land Mommy: SkyHorse Adult Coloring Book Review
I have always loved to color. I remember spending hours coloring as a kid. The highlight of Christmas for me was getting those jumbo coloring books and the case of two hundred crayons from my parents. I’ve actually tried to find those jumbo coloring books for my kids. Anyway. My parents would get those for my brothers and I every year up until we became teenagers. I was actually sad not to get them after that. I guess my parents thought that I might think I was too old for them. Well that’s what my mom told me when I asked her why she didn’t buy them anymore. I would immediately take my coloring book and be in my room for hours. I found it so relaxing and calming. As I got older and had to take on more adult responsibilities I got away from it.

That is until now. A few weeks ago I was asked to review adult coloring books. No! It isn’t that kind of coloring book. These books have patterns instead of cartoon characters like in children’s books. I received one called Calming Patterns and another called Sea Life. Although I don’t mind those either. I have been known to steal my kids’ coloring books. When I received my coloring books in the mail I was so excited. I didn’t waste anytime coloring. I got that relaxing and calming feeling that I used to get when I was a kid. I spent over an hour coloring that day. It was interesting cause before then I was having a pretty rough day. But when I started focusing on coloring and the patterns I just stop thinking about what was going wrong with my day. Before I finished I had this pretty picture and I felt better. This is what is called Art Therapy. I was so focused on my coloring I didn’t think about the bad day that I was having. Art Therapy is used more often than you know for many different reasons like for people who experience something traumatic, for counseling, and helping people communicate. This is often used with children.

These coloring books were a big hit with my husband and kids as well. Whenever I am looking for my book and it isn’t where I usually keep it I can always find it with one of them. These coloring books are definitely worth buying. They can be used for kids with special needs, people dealing with things like depression, or even people who just like to color like me. Having a bad day just color your worries away for a little while. Yes your problems may still be there but you can forget about them for a little while. It may even calm you down enough to help you think of a solution. If you want to purchase one of these you can head over to www.skyhorsepublishing.com. It is definitely worth it.
