Art Therapy – Free Coronovirus Coloring Sheet Printable

March 14, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

coronavirus coloring sheet

This free coloring printable has two purposes and we cover them both below.

One: you can color it in for a little bit of crafty creative fun to help find the creativity in a very stressful situation.

Second: this coloring sheet can be used to help distract adults and children whilst being topical. Focusing on the present helps you achieve mindfulness. Covid-19 news is all around us in the media, in the streets and we can’t avoid it, but what we can do is take away the fear by creating a non-stressful visual approach to the virus.

Coloring has the ability to relax the fear centre of your brain and is considered a good ‘mind exercise’ because it utilizes both sides of the brain whilst occupying it at the same time.

Coloring has been used to alleviate pain from headaches as well as comfort a sick child. This sheet is a great way to get older kids to use the printable to help alleviate any anxiety they may have about the current world situation. This sheet also opens up communication between children and teens about Coronavirus and gives you a blank canvas to discuss any concerns they may be having.

This printable has been custom designed for CraftGossip.com so please do not re-distribute it without our consent. The download can be printed on A3 or A4, so make sure to adjust your print size accordingly.

Download this sheet here.

    Thank you for thinking of others!

Have you read?

Book Review: Merry Stitchmas

It might seem a little early (if you’re reading this when I’m writing this) to be thinking abut the holiday season, but cross stitching takes time, and if you want to stitch a bunch of gifts or decor for the season, that’s going to take some time. 

Merry Stitchmas by Emma Congdon is here to inspire you to get your holiday stitching started, with 24 fun and colorful designs. You’ll find wall hangings, ornaments, stockings, bunting, greeting cards and gift tags, cute letters made out of decorated gift boxes, another set of drop shadow letters, stylized snowflake hoop art and more.

There are folk art figures, a festive patchwork and plenty of word art, with lots of bold and not always traditional colors to go around. 

Some of my favorites include the bold graphic lettering on the ho, ho, ho bunting banner and the collection of little stamps, which she shows all stitched together but would also be cute stitched as individual gift tags or you could even make a stitched card with a fabric envelope and use one of these as a stamp. 

The charts are large and colorful and provide options for personalization and spelling preferences. One design says “My favorite color is Christmas lights” and it includes charts for both British and American spellings. Rows are numbered and the color key is in the center of the page spread, which could make it a little hard to read (I reviewed this in PDF so I’m not sure if the margin is big enough to keep the key out of the gutter). 

The back of the book includes instructions for how to stitch and read charts as well as making up instructions for finishing projects in the various ways shown in the book such as a wall hanging, framed picture, stockings, a pillow, hoop art and gift tags. There are also templates in the back for the shapes used.

This is a sweet book for people who like their holiday decor a little traditional but a little modern at the same time. 

About the book: 136 pages, paperback, 24 patterns. Published 2025 by David & Charles. Suggested retail price $24.99.
