NOTE: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.
Welcome to March! And as I refresh The Weather Network for the umpteenth time to check when the winter storm will arrive, I can only concede that there’s some truth to the ol’ saying.
So today, instead of stressing about the inclement weather (kids have been shipped off to school), the inevitable snow shoveling (it’s a good workout after all) or the incessant storm reporting on the news (not like we live in Canada or anything), I’m going to colour.
Have you tried your hand (pun intended) at the new adult colouring trend? According to the American Art Therapy Association, art therapy is a mental health profession in which the process of making and creating artwork is used to “explore feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behavior and addictions, develop social skills, improve reality orientation, reduce anxiety and increase self-esteem.” (Source)
Okay, so perhaps I’m not there just yet. But I do believe a very basic benefit of colouring is that it allows us to switch off our brains from other thoughts and focus only on the moment, helping to alleviate anxiety and reduce stress, if only temporarily. And for me, even a short-lived break from stress is better than no break at all.
Ready to colour? Indigo, Chapters and Coles is a great first stop, boasting a wide selection of adult colouring books and art supplies. I recently purchased Magic Garden: Fantastic Flowers Coloring Book for Adults because I’m partial to doodling flowers and vines – I have old notebooks from elementary school with floral designs! I’ll be sure to post my finished artwork online once complete. (My husband bets I won’t be able to sit and colour for more than five minutes straight – we’ll see! I’m hoping to prove him wrong.)
One lucky reader will WIN a $100 Chapters Indigo Gift Card – that’s enough money to buy everything you need to get started, plus a few more goodies! Simply fill the form below with your qualifying answers. Good luck!
never done one yet !
I haven’t tried it yet. It might be good for me actually; I constantly need to be doing something with my hands.
I have tried it, I LOVE it! I love that I have to focus just on that an NOTHING else mostly
I haven’t but I bought a few for Christmas gifts and everyone has raved about them!
Have not tried it yet… but I hear it’s therapeutic!
It’s the only thing I do when I am stressed I love it
Love the adult colouring books!
I have tried, but just in cheap kids books from thrift stores, not designed for adults yet. I would love to try, as I am anxious and the only time my brain shuts off is when I am doing something I need to focus on, like yoga, and hopefully, colouring!
I have not tried out this fabulous new trend but friends have told me that they feel calmer while colouring!! I would love to try out one of the “Sweary” colouring books for those days when I just need to let it all out!
I love coloring but have yet to get on the new adult coloring book trend. I usually color with my daughter in her coloring book although I know it is not the same as there isn’t that relaxation factor or glass of wine lol
I’ve never tried it, but have a few friends who say it’s very relaxing…and I’m all for anything to help me relax and de-stress!
I have tried a page before and it was a lot of fun. And relaxing :)
Would like to try this
I hear it’s relaxing and satisfying. For those reasons I’d love to try it as a way to wind down
I got a few colouring books at Christmas and I love them! You get lost in colouring, it relaxes you! The pics are always so beatiful!
I have not tried it yet but loved colouring as a child and have done so several years ago with my niece and enjoyed it. It is calming.
I haven’t tried it yet but I think it would be fun to try, something for the whole family to be busy at!
I haven’t tried adult coloring yet, but I think it would be a great way of bringing out creativity.
Yes, I sneak my kids books when not in use
I bought a book for my daughter, but found myself coloring away, to me it’s somewhere to vent out frustrations, and ust mellow out. I use to color when the girls were babies, something to relax by, and not wake them up when they were finally asleep.
I have tried adult colouring and really enjoy it. I incorporate it into my scrapbooking
I don’t have adult colouring books but I enjoy colouring in my daughters books. Would like more of a challenge, very relaxing and the kids like when you get into it with them.
I’ve done this not even realizing it woukd become a trend. It’s just so relaxing!

I started colouring last fall and find it very comforting. I would love to invest in some good quality pencil crayons & some new books. Thanks for the chance to win!
This winter I have just started colouring again and I love it. A great way to help reduce stress and relax. Also the bonus is I bring a picture to life with colour.
I love adult coloring books! They really help soothe a busy mind!
I’ve been able to get into colouring with my toddler. I can have fun and be expressive with him. I’m actually surprised how big the adult colouring trend has gone. Recently I did purchase one of these adult colouring books because I think it’s a great avenue for personal expression, creativity and it’s a great stress reliever. Besides, it’s always nice enough to have a hobby.
I haven’t tried the adult colouring, but I do colour with my kids! I’ve always liked to colour, I find it relaxing.
Yes I love it! It’s very relaxing and doodling/coloring has always been something I enjoy. Now with adult coloring books it’s a bit more enjoyable. :)
Never tried love too.
I love adult colouring, my 4yr old likes trying to colour the more complicated pictures so it’s a real family affair.
It’s on my list of things to buy next time a gift card comes my way.
I have not tried adult colouring yet. It would be very relaxing to do and I love all the nice bright colors that you can use. They look like a masterpiece when you’re done.
Nope not yet! Looks fun but i never buy anything for myself!
Yes, got pencil crayons and a coloring book for Chrismtas. Very relaxing. Still having trouble staying within the lines though. :)
I have not tried it yet but the books I’ve been seeing look wonderful
I have not tried it for years, but I’m intrigued!
Love coloring books. While my 3 month old naps I indulge in color therapy. :) A little me time is great.
I am coloring sometimes in the book of my son.He doesn`t mine. I found it to relax me.
I have always loved colouring, and would buy kid’s books for myself. Now there are so many great adult colouring books! I received a beautiful one for Christmas, with gold outlines that look luxurious and very grownup ☺
yep! I like that it forces me to slow down for a few minutes and just focus on one thing :)
Not yet. However I think it would be so relaxing. I remember as a kid it calmed me.
I love this! My sister got me into it a few years ago. It is so relaxing and a great stress buster!
I have. I often colour with my kids on a Sunday afternoon. Now I have my own very nice colouring book.
I haven’t tried the adult coloring books yet, but my daughter (who will be 20 next month and a highly stressed out nursing student!), swears by them. They help take her mind off her ridiculously high work load and just relax for a while :)
This is actually a little odd for me, cause I play with designs and colour as part of my job.
But I do not actually colour in Books… What exactly makes them adult anyways?
I haven’t tried one yet , but coloring is a way to calm and relax your mind body and soul :)
My adult daughter and I colour pages together we love our time together working on them.
I haven’t tried Adult Coloring Books yet but I do sit and color with my son in his coloring books lol
I’ve done some adult colouring. My sister-in-law got my husband and I a mini adult colouring book when we went into the hospital to have our 4th baby in January. It was fun to colour with my husband. I often colour with my daughters and it’s nice to colour a more involved picture so I can spend as long on a page as my kids do on their pages.
It’s relaxing and keeps me stress free :)
I have some to my mom for Xmas but haven’t tried it yet.
I was given a colouring book for Christmas and I’ve done a bit. It was very relaxing.
I haven’t tried it yet
I have not tried it. I was on a plane with no entertainment and the lady next to me was enjoying colouring. I am trying to get my Mom into.
I received one for \Christmas but it didn’t stay mine for long as my kids quickly took it over….so I definitely am in need of a new one…LOL
Thank you so much for the opportunity!
I’ve tried it, and it’s quite therapeutic! I’ve always enjoyed colouring as a kid though. Nothing too different!

No I have not tried it yet but I would think it would be relaxing!
No I have not tried it yet but I would think it would be relaxing and fun!
I haven’t tried it yet, although I gifted quite a few of the books to friends and family for Christmas. The ability to create beautiful colour patterns is appealing to me – I watch my children colour and think it would be nice to do myself!
I would love to try this new adult coloring movement!
I haven’t tried yet but I always like colouring with the kids or at restaurants that give out crayons
I have not tried colouring
Love to colour, growing up with my grandmother, she colored everyday…and that was back in the 1970’s and 1980’s.
Yes I have tried it and I find it very relaxing. I thought I wouldn’t be able to sit for long & do it but have found myself doing it for a couple hours and having to stop myself.
Yes…love it! It’s a great stress reliever!
I haven’t tried colouring for years, but I know a few adult friends who do colour and they find it very relaxing and peaceful. Plus it’s a way to get creative with colours and the wonderful patterns.
I’ve always loved colouring and doodling, and how it takes my mind off of everything, it is very relaxing. I used to use kids as an excuse to colour but I guess I don’t have to do that anymore, lol
I have coloured a bit with my grandkids, but I haven’t tried the new adult colouring books. I purchased a few as Christmas presents and the gift receivers seem to enjoy them.
I haven’t tried these colouring books yet but love colouring homework with my 10 year old TRIPLETS!
I find it therapeutic – it’s not easy to get quiet time sometimes so this is a great way to disengage from everything else.
I haven’t but i do keep looking at these books in the store.
Yes I have tried it! I find it relaxing however I’m the type of person who needs to finish it in one sitting, so super detailed ones are a struggle for me.
I have A few colouring books. I think the best thing about them is that they let you be creative without making you insecure about a lack of artistic talent.
Coloring is very relaxing and easy to do, always enjoyed coloring with the kids. The Adult coloring books are great since the designs are aimed at adults.
I have not tried these Adult coloring books but i do know people that have and i quess its quit relaxing and see the beautiful results when its finished.
I color with my children in their books, or draw my own designs to color. Would love an actual “adult” coloring bookl

I haven’t tried adult colouring yet but it appeals to me as it seems like a great activity to wind down and reduce stress.
I haven’t tried this yet, but would love to! Used to enjoy colouring as a kid, so I would probably like it now too ;-)
I used to color years ago in my kids toddler years with them but haven’t done it since. I’ve seen this new trend of adult coloring everywhere but haven’t attempted it. It would be a good sensory activity to clear the mind.

It would be great to win a $100 Chapters Indigo Gift Card.

I have used the Colorfy app on my iPhone to colour for relaxation, I would enjoy painting/water colour to relax, but I find using crayons/markers/pencil crayons tedious and not relaxing at all. I think I need some Copic markers and then maybe I’d LOVE it. ;-)

I have not tried adult colouring – though I do enjoy colouring with my young daughter. I find it very relaxing and soothing.
I love colouring – now that my nieces & nephews are grown it was harder to have the chance to colour, so I love the grownup colouring trend – no more hiding in the basement with my crayons

I have! My sister in law got me a colouring book last Christmas and oh really enjoyed it. I love that I have an excuse to break out the pencil crayons for myself and I love looking at all the beautiful designs.
I have an adult colouring book! I love it, but I’ve been colouring all sorts of things long before the adult colouring book faze!
I love the idea although I have never had an actual adult colouring book. The thing I like about this trend is that it allows us adults to do something we loved doing as a kid, and that is colouring!
I have seen these on television. Sounds like fun
I love adult coloring! It is great to do on my own or alongside my daughter. It is a creative outlet. Also it forces me to sit and be still and relax without multi-tasking.

I’ve tried it colouring alongside my kids and it was surprisingly relaxing!
I love that it’s so quiet and focused. Nice change from my crazy life.
Somebody bought some for work, so we can relax and destress. I like regular colouring books as the lines are easier to see and way better pictures and scenes to colour. The 70’s flower power motifs I dot care for.
very nice experience
No I have not tried it but heard it is relaxing
I haven’t tried it yet but I have spent time with colouring with my little guys :).
I have not – I literally have not artistic ability.

i haven’t tried it yet. a few of my co-workers had them as a gift for the secret santa. they laughed but i think it’s a good idea since we work in such a volatile environment and we need those few mins to destress
I ordered a adult colouring book from Amazon, and am eager to try it out!
Yes I sure have tried adult colouring. I love it! It’s so relaxing and I can let my imagination run wild!
It eases and regulates my breathing.
I’ve tried it & really like colouring with markers!
No I have not but would like to!
I have three adult colouring books and I use them all the time! It’s really relaxing and it helps keep my hands busy if we’re hanging out watching netflix (I cannot sit and do nothing with my hands).
I have no tried an adult colouring book yet, but I want the swear word one ;)
I have tried it and really enjoy it.I have always enjoyed doodling and drawing so this perfect for me because I find it so relaxing.It’s a great way or me to pass some time away when I am babysitting and it’s really an awesome hobby.

I have not tried as of yet but am dying to. I have friends who have framed them as Artwork. Also the stress relief. Win/Win!
I have heard all the buzz about this growing trend. I find it very attractive and appealing. I loved coloring as a child and I really like the idea of it. Have not colored in quite a while, but I think I need to give this a try.
I have tried adult colouring. I am not very good at it but I love colouring while my daughter is colouring in her book.
Love adult coloring books, but have a hard time finding the time!
I have not tried it but I think it would be very relaxing
I lived coloring as a child, and still doodle in my notebooks. I think I’d love coloring my own book besides my kids.
I used to do it when I was in uni because it helped me to destress. I was delighted with the return of it because I think it really is a way to just chill!
I have always coloured, for decades, long before it became this new trend. It’s relaxing, creative, and fun!
I haven’t done adult colouring but, I’ve always had colouring pencils and crayons for my teaching aids. My university roommate had regular colouring books in the 90s before this even became a trend for adults. I’d always had some colouring books and activity books and materials for kids at home growing up.
I haven’t tried it yet but my cousin said she really likes doing them.
No, I haven’t
I haven’t tried it but my daughter loves it.
I love my colouring books! I have 6-7 different ones now, I have pages I like to colour with crayons, ones that I prefer pencil crayons for & intricate ones that I use fine-tipped gel pens on!
I haven’t tried it yet!
No, I haven’t tried before but I would love to! Looks fun and entertaining
i have not but it looks cool
I have not tried it yet, but have been eyeing some of those books. Coloring has always been my favorite activity as a child
I have never stopped coloring , I doodle draw and color in my toddlers books all the time .

Thanks for this giveaway. My students and I love the colouring books. I often give them as gifts too.
I haven’t tried adult colouring yet. I enjoyed colouring as a child/teenager, it’d be nice to feel creative again.
My Mum bought me crayons and an adult colouring book for Christmas. The only problem is I have no time ..lol Guess that means I don’t relax much. I am hoping when the weather is better and I am out back on the deck sipping a nice lemonade and have a New Yankee Candle burning I can do some colouring.. Thx for another great giveaway. I have been enjoying your reads !
I use to do this back in high school. It’s very calming!
The relaxation factor and time to myself is important regarding adult coloring.

i have not yet tried it, but it appeals to me because it seems relaxing
I have spent so much time colouring with my children I haven’t even considered colouring for enjoyment. But I can see how it would have relaxing qualities. Maybe when I’m past the phase of cleaning crayon of the walls, it may sound like something I’d be interested in lol
I haven’t tried adult colouring yes, but my brother has and he finds it very relaxing.
I have tried the adult colouring books, but I’ve always coloured to relax way before these books came to market! It’s one of my favorite things to do in the evenings.

I haven’t coloured in a colouring book since I was a in elementary school. I picked up a free giveaway T shirt that had washable markers. It could be coloured, laundered & the colour would wash out & it could be coloured again. A senior wanted it but I had picked it up for the granddaughter of an aquaintance. ????????
I love colouring and have a few books now. It is calming and creative, and I love how it keeps me in the moment.
I haven’t tried it because they are expensive. Instead I buy children colouring books at the dollar store and its just not the same
I gave one to my mom for Christmas and she loves it. Relaxes her.
I love adult colouring. I suffer from depression and anxiety, and colouring was a tool used when I was in the hospital to help calm and centre ourselves.
i haven’t tried ‘adult colouring’ but i colour with the kids in their books alot – i enjoy it

I haven’t tried adult colouring as of yet. A few of my friends find it to be a great way to relax so I might have to give it a try at some point.
