Beyond the gardens and geometric patterns, there are ones for adult entertainment favorites like “Outlander” and “Game of Thrones” (all men must draw).
It might surprise you to find adult coloring books are growing increasingly popular in our plugged in, hyper-connected world. Could it be that we all need a break from all that connectedness?

This activity is a stress reliever, a chance to wind down and step away from all things tech, to create with your own two hands, to rediscover youth. Coloring for adults is a chance to unplug, focus on something else and ultimate produce work they can be proud of.
