Colouring is a great way to escape and take your mind off things. It’s a good activity to do if you want to keep your hands busy and have a creative outlet. A lot of people tell us it’s a helpful way to work through their anxiety.  It’s proven to relax the fear center of your brain, and can improve your motor skills and vision. It’s a positive thing to focus on in times of stress, but it’s also just a fun activity to do! Colouring can be calming and soothing.

We have a bunch of free colouring sheets for you to print off on our website in the Resources section, under Activities!
