Are you or someone you know a budding artist? Are you looking for something fun and relaxing to do? Then, discover the joys of coloring! Grab some crayons, colored pencils, or watercolors as today is National Coloring Book Day. Coloring books are a great activity for both kids and more recently adults. Adults can color as individuals or join a “Coloring Club”. Anyone can do it at any age, regardless of skill level. On this August 2 holiday kids as well as adults can become artists and practice their skill at drawing full-color pictures. It’s a perfect activity for a rainy day, or to pass the time away on an otherwise boring day.

This activity was once looked upon as a child’s activity during rainy days. It is also good to help them to refine their fine motor skills. More recently, it has become a hobby for adults. You don’t have to be artistic. However, the ability to stay between the lines helps. An eye for pleasing color combinations helps to enhance the quality of the pictures, too. Like all hobbies, you will get better with time. And if your work is not award-winning, who cares!? You don’t have to show your work to anyone but yourself. The only thing that matters is that you are having fun.
