It’s National Crayon Day! Get Out Your Crayola’s! It’s Therapeutic!

C’mon…admit it.  You colored as a child and your parents put the pictures on your refrigerator.  It is okay.  Maybe your kids do that today.  Well join them! And celebrate National Crayon Day!  Get out you kids box of Crayolas with the sharpener in the back and get out your adult coloring book.

If you have a stressful day, coloring can be therapeutic.  It does more than keep kids occupied.  It helps us de-stress.  It helps reduce anxiety.  It helps to spark creativity.  For more benefits click HERE.

It is OK if you can’t color between the lines.  But sometimes it is good to bring ourselves back to our childhood.  And it is a great way to bond with our kids.  So pick up an adult coloring book and take a Sunday afternoon to spend time with the kids coloring.  You may enjoy it more than you think.    🙂
