Why: Colouring in is not just for children. The growing demand of adult colouring books has created a whole new leisure activity for all ages.

Benefits: Colouring can provide benefits for grown ups in reducing stress and providing a moment to take a break from extremely busy lives, something many adults rarely seem to do.

It forces them to concentrate on colouring the book, and also takes them back to a less stressful time in their life and brings back happy memories of being a child. Adults with young children may also wish to spend time together colouring in, creating another bond.
