It says on the front of this book that it is a 'Relaxing' colouring book and it is, which is why I bought it. There’s hippos, an aardvark, the cat on the front cover to name a few pictures, though there are other things to colour in as well as animals.

The images have varying line thicknesses, different coloured backgrounds and some lines are printed in colour rather than black. Whether coloring is used as self-care homework, brought into group therapy by patients, or incorporated into therapy sessions, I believe there is a place for it in the wide spectrum of art activities that we use in art therapy.

Listening to music is something easy that everyone can do, but playing an instrument is a whole other skillset. A few months ago this would have put me off but I am actually relishing 'having a go' this time as I have started drawing from time to time, nothing too taxing!

However, in these dark times I’m going to give my copy to my isolated Mum because I think concentrating on colouring in the pictures will distract her mind away from current events and the fact that she’s going to be pretty much entirely on her own for the foreseeable future. Split into two sections, the first, Colouring, has minutely detailed images to colour with well defined lines, which will afford such concentration that all other cares will vanish. Almost every page has a vibrant dash of colour too that lifts the spirits and makes the whole book incredibly attractive. The structure of a coloring book and the beautiful intricacy of many of the designs help people to have an enjoyable experience and feel pleased with their final product. Some block colouring, small colouring and small white bits to colour against black -this looks great if you have neon pencils.

This book is already started for you so you’re just continuing the process and somehow, that makes it so much easier to just pick up a pen or pencil and start. Debra Dettone, a 52-year-old preschool teacher who lives in Harrison, Ohio, was having some anxiety over her job recently. My concern, particularly for the youngest children, is the designs are too intricate for little hands that color outside of the lines.

The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal.
