2nd August: NATIONAL COLORING BOOK DAY

National Coloring Book Day on August 2nd recognizes the joy children and adults alike derive from coloring in pages of designs. Coloring and coloring books have always been popular with children, but over the years adults have gotten more and more involved with coloring.  Obviously, adult coloring is now a huge trend. Many find that it is not only fun but also a great way to reduce stress.

There is magic between the covers of a coloring book, a type of magic that can take us away and walk us into a million worlds. Further, coloring books make artists of us all, whether we decide to be Rembrandt with his realistic colors and patterns. Coloring Book Day encourages us to get back to the days of our youth, and dive between the pages of a coloring book.

Coloring books have gotten some serious, grown-up attention lately. National Coloring Book Day helps us relive our childhood playdates and discover new health and wellness benefits now that coloring is no longer just for kids. In fact, adult coloring books seem to be the latest wellness and relaxation trend that helps people find happiness between the lines.
