Introduction to the Benefits of Colouring
Did you think that colouring is only a children’s pastime? Think again!
Colouring has become a worldwide trend and popular activity for all ages, with some colouring-in books even making the bestseller lists. And no wonder why - colouring comes with a range of health benefits.
Colouring has been found to have therapeutic potential to reduce anxiety, create focus and bring mindfulness. Similarly to meditation, colouring allows us to focus on the present moment and reduces stress.
When colouring, both of our brain hemispheres
are active, which improves our fine motor skills.
The logical part works on selecting the colours and patterns, while the creative part of the brain focuses on the choosing and matching of colours.
Colouring can also be done together as a social activity combining stress detracting activity with socialising and laughter.
Appealing to all ages, this Just Better Care colouring book is both entertaining and a great exercise for your brain. It’s time to pull out those crayons, colored pencils and markers!
