Recently I have been chatting to different friends and have been surprised how many love to relax by doing colouring. Within recent years, thanks largely to the work of Johanna Basford, colouring has gone from child’s play to serious adult recreation, and with good reason too.

According to one health site, colouring can do all the following for you…

• REDUCE STRESS AND ANXIETY. Coloring has the ability to relax the fear center of your brain, the amygdala. … 
• IMPROVE MOTOR SKILLS AND VISION. … 
• IMPROVE SLEEP. … 
• IMPROVE FOCUS.

Given the times we are living in all of us could probably benefit from each of these, don’t you think?

So, if colouring-in is something you enjoy, or would like to try, or you know someone else who does, or there are children in your family, I am releasing a free collection for you to download.

The pictures can be printed out on normal printing paper, so if you already have a printer you’ll be set up in no time. If printed out on card stock you can turn your work of art into a greeting card.

One of the pages in the package is made up of four book markers. Simply print off the whole sheet, colour in and cut up. Or, use the bookmark project for smaller projects for your little ones.

Please pass on the link to others, this is entirely free with no strings attached.
