Play is one of the most important aspects of healthy development, so break out the colored pencils, crayons and markers!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alleviates Stress<br \/>\n<\/strong>Ever notice that when you\u2019re stressed out, your attention becomes frenzied? Because coloring is a structured, low effort activity, it has a calming effect, allowing your mind to take a break and escape to places like Zahramay Falls and Adventure Bay. \u00a0Bottom line: Coloring reduces stress!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bad Day Outlet<br \/>\n<\/strong>Famous psychologist, Carl Jung, recommended coloring mandalas, symbols of the universe, as a way to balance the self after a bad day. Blow off some steam by filling in magical lamps, genie palaces, and more!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Promotes Mindfulness<br \/>\n<\/strong>Being a parent today is HARD! Looming responsibilities make it hard to focus on anything at once. Much like meditation, coloring helps you center your concentration on a specific task. Whether that\u2019s choosing a shade of purple or coloring within the lines, the choice helps to sharpen your focus and bring you back to the present.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enhances Creativity<br \/>\n<\/strong>Your creativity can benefit both you <em>and<\/em> your kids! Shimmer and Shine use their creativity to take risks and solve problems. You can model this creative behavior for your kids by bringing a black and white page alive with vibrant colors!<\/p>\n<p>What are you waiting for!?
