Coloring books for Adults: Meditative, Educational, Artistic and Just Fun

Coloring books for adults are not a new idea, but in the last few years they have exploded in popularity and variety. You no longer have to stop coloring when you graduate from grade school!

Some coloring books are meditative: based on the ancient Buddhist principles of the mandala. Many grown-ups find that coloring is so relaxing and healing , and even deeply spiritual. Indeed you will find spirituality of all kind shown in adult coloring books.

Adult coloring books are also very instructive and educational . The Anatomy Coloring Book was one of the first educational coloring books, and there actually are coloring books for all kinds of difficult materials.

And a lot of adult comic books are just fun. Whether it is biting satire or light humor, you can find amusement in coloring books.

I was amazed at the incredible variety of coloring books for people who are way past the age of grade school: adult coloring books truly are a treasure.

Fine Art in Coloring Books

Educational Coloring Books for Adults: The Physical Sciences Made Easier

Anatomy through Zoology, and lots in Between

Most of us are visual learners, and coloring books can make the sciences much easier to learn and retain.

I wish I would have had these books in my high school chemistry class – saved a lot of tears.

It is amazing how much easier it is to learn something hard like anatomy if you get to color! Or easier to retain. I recently purchased an anatomy coloring book to refresh my knowledge: it has been a long time since nursing school!

I love holidays. I am like Leslie Knope – and would celebrate a holiday everyday if I could.

That is why this section is so crammed full.

I looked for year round holidays – from Valentines Day to Hanukkah, and holidays that celebrate all religions from Christianity, to Hinduism, or Judaism. Or of course no religion or for when you want to be naughty!

Coloring a special adult holiday themed adult coloring books is a perfect way to celebrate the year as it passes. I have found some great ones for you – my favorites are the Valentines – F$CK Love tongue in cheek coloring book, and the Day of the Dead coloring book and crayon set.

The second is a beautiful coloring book about gardening, and this is a special garden: the night garden. The artist is Lindsey Boylan. This is meditative and relaxing – a garden that you can enjoy whether or not you have a green thumb. The flowers show up beautifully because of the black background.
