Have you all caught the Adult coloring bug just yet? I guess I have always had it! I have for years bought coloring books and colored them- I always say it makes me feel precious and childlike. So when this whole Adult coloring thing came along I was pretty excited for some more interesting things to color-and maybe a little more- intricate on some level I suppose- I mean I don’t like really really in depth things to color- you have to have a balance! I have even seen studies about how coloring is actually really good for you – it can mimic the affects of therapy and it also helps with expression, just to name a few things.
I was really excited to get to get the chance to get some of these coloring books to review from the great folks over at Color With Music! They had a few coloring books already available but I held out for the newer ones that were about to be released because they were really exciting to me! Not that the ones they had before weren’t but I like things when they are all brand new and I am one of the first to get them and all of that. Plus, several of these really called out to me!
Color with Music are these awesome coloring books that are different than your standard adult coloring book- I have had a few and believe me there are several differences! First of all the major one is that they come with a CD of relaxing music for you to enjoy while you color, and well of course you can enjoy them whenever. I was pretty excited to find that each coloring book features a different soundtrack, that way if you are buying multiple books you can have multiple experiences.
Of course if you want to you an mix and match the CD’s as well. I thought that CD aspect really set these books apart because I haven’t saw that option before. I can’t think of anything that would be more relaxing than to color and listen to something calming (and maybe drinking a glass of wine) It is a great way to unwind – and I think that in this day and time that is something that people don’t do enough of. It is just a great simple way to unwind when you might need it, for whatever reason you might need it!
The other perks of these coloring books vs some of the other ones out there include:
-Protective inlay card which acts as a tablet
– Top-bound binding, perfect for both right handed and left handed artists
– Detachable pages for easy framing and sharing
There are also 48 pages for you to color in each book. Now – there are def. a variety of books for you to choose from- As you can tell I chose Owls, Cas, Biblical images, patterns and spring!
I went to work right away and colored this page from the biblical one-I was so in to it I finished it in one evening and of course I enjoyed the music too!
I am very much looking forward to coloring in these books and listening to them in the future! Another neat thing is you can download the Color With Music CD’s on Itunes and then you can download printable pages to color as well!
