Publisher's Synopsis
Coloring is one of the most common activities among children; it is a pleasant pastime that allows you to refine important motor skills and develop the first artistic skills (related to the recognition and use of colors, but also to the main coloring techniques).
Coloring is not a therapeutic practice and is something quite distinct from art therapy.
However, this is a repetitive and relatively simple task: the ideal to "switch off" and relax, reducing stress.
Therefore, coloring, even without healing anyone, is highly beneficial.
According to several studies, coloring drawings and mandalas is an activity capable of freeing the mind from stress and anxiety.
It is an activity that leads to breaking away from routine and worries, completely immersing oneself in a task with no other purpose than to have a little fun. Mainly, the beneficial effects of coloring are two:
- Distract the mind from negative thoughts and sources of stress
- Adjust the mood through positive activity.
