I decided to use my illustrations for printables because of my love of coloring. As a kid I always found myself quietly in my room drawing and coloring, it was a place of refuge in my house where I could focus and create. It was also what brought me together with my siblings - we would draw characters and cartoons and laugh over our drawings. It was an activity for solitude and also friendship.

After googling (ahem) the benefits of coloring I found out there’s a reason coloring meant so much to me and why it continues into my adult life. I created a couple of concise lists for quick digest since I know you can google too :)

According to the Cleveland Clinic:

Coloring relaxes the brain with a simple task
It’s very low stakes, so it helps with destressing
It helps focus the mind
And it’s generally thought that what you liked to do as a kid follows you into adulthood with the same type of enjoyment (that’s a bonus for all the adults reading this)

And beyond that list but not exhausting it:

It can improve hand-eye coordination
It can improve emotional connections
It can help a child develop spacial awareness
And it’s a way for a child to express themselves without consequences

Printables are a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to buy, print, and use what you purchased - repeatedly.

It’s as easy as 1-2-3!
