Turns out adult colouring books are the latest trend to be embraced as a form of creativity and stress release. Pouring off the shelves by the millions, adults around the world are rediscovering their childhood love of colouring in.
Considered a tension release and form of meditation, there is indeed something deeply soothing about mindlessly colouring in detailed pictures. We gave it a go ourselves and were surprised to find just how relaxing it was. Two of our favourites are Secret Garden by Johanna Basford and Birds & Butterflies by Alice Chadwick. These UK illustrators are just two of the talents behind the craze.
Adult colouring books are topping best sellers lists, with many shops in Waikato selling them as fast as they can get them in. Leave your colouring books and pens lying around – you’ll be surprised who picks them up and has a go (teenage son and grandmother are equally addicted).
