Hobbies are Expensive, Color for Free

It sometimes feels like anything to do is going to cost money. Coloring is a hobby that people love, and over time people associate it with children. However, adults can rediscover the calming and mediative qualities of coloring with whatever supplies around the house. Most people have pencils (colored or just plain graphite), pens, crayons, markers, or even highlighters can work in a pinch. MacGyver something creative, and be surprised in how the creativity flows from the new free hobby into other areas of life as well.

It’s even something that you can do with the kiddos on a rainy afternoon, or you can even take the supplies to the park and color outside on a sunny day if the mood strikes. Not to mention, it’s a relatively inexpensive play date activity. Coloring as a family at the kitchen table is another time, other than supper, that families can come together to talk about their day.

Teachers, you are the true unsung heroes and heroines. I bet teachers have heard and seen a lot, and feel free to print as many pdf files as you need. Feel free to use the books in your classroom, or at home after a rough day while drinking a glass of red wine.

Other than the last example, coloring can be a hobby that’s free from vice, and can contribute to a better mood and creativity. Don’t believe me? Try it! I think you might like it. Better yet, it’s free, and color with your family.
