Creative Coloring

Who knew that something I'm around everyday
 in the Kindergarten classroom
 is actually healthy for adults too? 

If you've been in any stores lately, 
you've noticed the new craze of 
adult coloring books.

There are all types! My favorite are
 the Christian coloring books. 
They can be found in most of our stores:
WalMart, Target, JoAnn's, Michaels, 
Hobby Lobby and Amazon.

These are the books I currently have:
The act of coloring actually has positive benefits too. 
When we color detailed pictures, choose colors, 
think about balance, put the colored pencil to the paper, 
use our fine motor skills and problem solve --
we are using both hemispheres of our brain. 
Coloring is also a wonderful stress reliever,
 this is probably the number one reason
 why people are picking up these books.
There are also these small Colorful Blessing cards,
 which are great for someone who wants to color 
but, may want a smaller picture or have less time.
They are great to throw in your purse along 
with a few colored pencils. 
(I've colored these on long car trips.)

The great benefit of these cards are they are easy to stuff
in an envelope and mail. 
Blessing Cards are a great way to "pray over" someone while 
coloring and then give them the product
of your time with God. 
 A few cards I colored and will be sending in the mail
 Love all the different types of cards
Looking for a way to de-stress? Try them out!
The Blessing Cards can be found on Amazon:
