I for one was so excited to find out that coloring was trendy again. Mostly because I hadn't really ever stopped coloring, but now it's just socially acceptable. And of course, it's a more grown up thing than broken crayons and ripped up books. This is like, art.
Which basically means I feel really important while coloring....when actually it's just like preschool all over again.
(Which I am very much okay with, for the record.)
Let's learn to color! (...in case you were absent that day in preschool, I'm here to fill you in.)
1. ACQUIRE IMPRESSIVE COLORING BOOKS.
Shoutout to my friend Kayla for setting me up with the perfect coloring supplies. She also included a bottle of nutella, which may be optional for you but I find it to be pretty essential. But anyway, books! I have this one and this one, and The Winter Magic book and this genre of books in general, are already in the amazon cart. (thanks mom!)
2. FIND THE PERFECT PENS.
Friends! It's 2016, so say sionara to crayon stubs and dull pencils because gel pens work 100000x better. And while I don't actually own these yet (keyword: yet) they are the BEST PENS EVER! Thank you to Angela for sharing them with me...or at least not complaining when I steal them. ;)
3. CUTE CHRISTMAS CANDLE (def not optional.)
Because when is a delicious smelling candle NOT appropriate or helpful for coloring inside the lines?
As you can see, coloring is a great sport as well as stress reliever. It's one the rare few sports that be played at home, on the couch in your pajamas! And isn't that the best kind of sport anyway?

Tbt to when we were coloring at the same time and didn't even know it
ReplyDeleteI think I might need one of these "grown up" coloring books. this would be essential when i'm falling asleep in class. ;)
ReplyDeleteok i'm looking at some on amazon...these are a genius idea.
