Coloring in for adults can have a range of health benefits, from reducing stress and helping to manage anxiety to boosting creativity and improving brain function. Coloring in can be a great way to relax and switch off from the world around us, allowing us to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Coloring in is also a fantastic way to de-stress and unwind. By focusing on the intricate details and shapes of a dragon coloring in page, we can divert our attention away from the stresses of life and into a creative and calming activity. Studies have shown that coloring can help to reduce cortisol levels, the hormone that is responsible for stress. Additionally, the act of coloring can help to improve our mood and overall wellbeing, as it helps to reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.

Furthermore, coloring in can help to boost creativity and improve brain function. By working on a dragon coloring in page, we are strengthening our neural pathways and allowing our brains to work more effectively. As we work on the intricate details of the page, we are engaging our problem-solving skills and allowing our minds to explore different solutions. This can help to increase our creativity and allow us to come up with innovative ideas.

Finally, coloring in can help to improve our focus and concentration. As we work through the various shapes and details of the dragon coloring in page, we are training our brains to stay focused on the task at hand. This can be very beneficial for adults, as it can help them to focus on tasks at work or school and increase their productivity.

In conclusion, coloring in for adults can have a range of health benefits, from reducing stress and helping to manage anxiety to boosting creativity and improving brain function. It is a great way to take a break from the stresses of everyday life and allow our minds to explore different solutions. All in all, coloring in is a fantastic activity that can help to improve our focus, concentration, creativity and overall wellbeing.

Bastille Day for Kids

When I was writing about France the other day, it occurred to me that Bastille Day was also coming up (July 14, to be precise), and I wasn’t sure that I had written about it before. On further digging I realized I had, but it’s been a few years, so let’s take a look at some more ideas for celebrating this pivotal day in French history. Of course anything in the post on France would be great to do as well. 

First, if you want to start with a kid-friendly explanation of Bastille Day, get the basics from Britannica Kids. 

Learn more about the French Revolution and play the Storming the Bastille game from Tina’s Dynamic Homeschool +. It looks a little like Chutes (or Snakes) and Ladders to me, but I think you might start over instead of just going back when you hit a guillotine space. She also has a France unit study that includes a printable lapbook and making pain au’ chocolat. 

The Princess and the Frog made a wafer cookie Eiffel Tower (which they originally found on our Edible Crafts site; love a full circle moment!). When I went looking for that I also saw Eiffel towers made of pretzels and gingerbread, so get creative with your building challenges. 

Make a fun French flag collage with this tutorial from Sparkle Living Blog (via Real Creative Organized). Search for French clip art or royalty free photos online to add to your artwork. And if you’re looking for more France themed crafts, check out this collection from Artsy Craftsy Mom. My favorite is the little printable city, which came from Handmade Charlotte, but there are lots of cute craft ideas here for Bastille Day or an day. 

Grab some Bastille Day coloring pages from Plantz Matter, which also has a little French lesson if you want to learn some basics. Coloring Pages for Kids also has some good options for Bastille Day coloring.
