Mindfulness Colouring Activities to Try

Mindfulness activities involve paying full attention to something - slowing down to really notice what you're doing. You're focusing in a relaxed, easy way.
 
Mindfulness colouring is a simple, and creative way, to practice mindfulness at home – and excitingly, there are lots of fabulous colouring resources available online at the moment!
 

To highlight just a few:

• Adobe are collaborating with a range of artists and illustrators to release a weekly printable colouring book, and themes include animals, dreams and gratitude. You can access them here.

 

• Other companies are also releasing free templates online that you can print at home. These range from simple to advanced designs, with templates suitable for young and old. 
  • OliClothing,
  • Children’s author Matt Cosgrove

 

In preparation for this activity you will need to:

• Find something to colour
  • This may be digital online, something you print (see suggestions above) or a colouring book you already have
• Set up a clear, uncluttered space
• Bring along your preferred colouring materials - pencils, pens, markers etc .

Take the time to slow down, be mindful and enjoy the process!
