Crayola is now selling adult coloring books

The kit includes four collections-nature, kaleidoscope, geometric and garden-and there are even markers and colored pencils marketed toward the 18-and-up crowd.

Coloring books, one of our favorite activities as children, are on an upsurge, and now the popular art brand Crayola is throwing its hat into the ring, according to Hello Giggles.

And for those who just want to draw, Crayola is also releasing packs of colored pencils and markers for grownups. “This partnership is a terrific opportunity for Crayola and Brit + Co to show our belief that everyone is creative”. “Psychologically speaking, people would get roughly the same “therapeutic effect” from coloring books their older kids might use but of course, most adults would feel awkward laboring over an image of a princess riding a horse on the beach, regardless of how complex the pattern of wave coloring is”, Winch told Yahoo Health. There are countless studies, research and articles that claim coloring books for grown-ups are yet another outlet to help reduce stress and anxiety. “I can see why adults find it to be relaxing”. “Coloring is a classic, creative activity that provides an escape which transforms black and white pages into colorful works of art”.

Brit + Co. The latest trend in crafting is a throwback to your childhood days. Users can purchase DIY project kits and products from a curated selection of makers in the Brit + Co Shop.

Available at Target for $9.99, “Pattern Play” is a 78-page volume of unique artwork that references nostalgia and pop culture.

And Jacqueline Breslin, human capital services director at TriNet, a human resources company, said adult coloring books would be a good addition to office recreational opportunities.
