Mindfulness Colouring

I love my Mamilein, for her birthday I bought her a mindfulness colouring in book.

Papichen says she loves it, she spends hours colouring in.  I regularly get photos and videos of her latest creations.

Only my Mamilein could phone me up asking for instructions.  "Do I have to colour the backgrounds too?"  I told her they were her pictures and to do what ever she wanted.

Away with the colour fairies

Do I had now, pretty much, relieved myself and life of additional stress and anxiety.  However, in my opinion, there is always time for some stress relief and I have found adult colouring books.  

I have spent hours colouring the first page and it's not even half finished.  It is lovely just to sit and colour.  I do occasionally join the children in the mark making area and always enjoy the experience. 

When I heard about these books, I decided that I had to invest.  It's so lovely just to switch off and let my mind wander.        My life has become increasingly electronic (all of my books are now on my Kindle, and I love the convenience of it)  and it's to refreshing to indulge in such a basic and, dare I say it, primitive activity.
