With everyone spending the majority of their time inside right now, it can be easy for families (adults and kids alike) to begin to get slightly antsy about what to do with their time. One activity that is good for everyone to do, and could be helpful in taking our minds off of things, is coloring!
Coloring has positive health benefits
Think that coloring is only for kids? Both researchers and art therapists have spent time proving the positive benefits that coloring can have on adults as well as children — both activating our artistic sides, while also giving us a calming outlet to self express and reflect. I don’t know about you, but I think now is a perfect time for that! What can be looked at as an activity that mirrors meditation, focusing on coloring a picture is something that can allow our brains to temporarily shut off from otherwise negative emotions that may currently be taking up a lot of mental space.
Combine the relaxation of coloring with the magic of Disney — bringing some of our most beloved 2D characters to life on your page!
