Enlarge Each Photo for a Fun Coloring Sheet
In 2015, the health and wellness community discovered that coloring books and coloring pages can be ideal even for adults! -- This is because the act of coloring is relaxing for many people. Even business executives are finding peace and fun in coloring.
Many kids still love to color these days. Sometimes our children and their young friends like to have an entire coloring book to hold as they color the pictures and designs.
The book keeps the pictures all together in one place to avoid the mess of papers scattered everywhere. This makes cleanup easier on busy holidays.
At the same time, a colored picture can be torn easily from the book and posted on the family refrigerator for all to see, or even mailed as a Valentine's Day card. That is one card to be remembered!
Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?"

Very cute coloring book. I like the old cupid shooting the target. This is great for anyone wanting to make a quick Valentine.

Coloring is just my speed based on my artistic (lack of) ability. Really cute hub idea!
Patty Inglish MS (author) from USA and Asgardia, the First Space Nation on February 14, 2008:
That is a splendid idea for a Hub! If you write it, I will read it. Perhaps several could write such a hub.
I like to color once in a while, myself. :)

Hi, I like this kind of facts that you deliver, very nice with something for the children aswell, or maybe the adults should color them :-), might be good to let go of some stress.
That´s a new hub-article, "Paint your stress away" :-)

Thank you cleanclover, lauren and Rapidwriter. I particularly like the Owl and the Pussycat picture, inspired by one of my favorite Victorian humorists, Edward Leer.
Please enjoy!
