NATIONAL COLORING BOOK DAY

2016-07-21 13.56.17_editedimg_0105

Is celebrated annually on August 2. Coloring and coloring books have always been popular with children, but over the years adults have gotten more and more involved with coloring. Adult coloring is now a huge trend and many are finding that it is not only fun but also a great way to reduce stress. Founded in 1941, Dover Publications led the way, releasing their first coloring book for adults, Antique Automobiles Coloring Book, in 1970. Dover now publishes Creative Haven®, a popular line of coloring books specially designed for adult colorists.

    Wow that’s really a thing? 🙂 that’s great! Happy National Coloring Book Day to youu! You’re about adults getting more into this. I heard not long ago there was an actual shortage on Colored Pencils because of this.
    I’m going to share a quick post about the book I just received, it’s a coloring book 🙂 thank you so much for the idea.
    Great picture by the way! I love the eyes.
