Art Therapy – Free Coronovirus Coloring Sheet Printable

by

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.

Pretty Tank Top Knitting Patterns to Keep You Cool

I’ve been writing about knitting online for a long time, and a lot of things have changed. But one good thing I think has changed over the years is that fewer people see knitting as a seasonal activity. Most people don’t seem to think anymore that there’s a time when it’s too hot to knit or too hot to wear knits. 

I don’t know if the proliferation of knit tank top patterns caused that shift or is the result of it, but either way, summer knitters and knitwear-wearers are the beneficiaries, and every year there seem to be more great tank top knitting patterns to share. 

How about the super cute Fleur Cami from Woolbirdx on Etsy? This sweet V-neck with thin straps features vertical panels of eyelets and ribbing. It’s worked from the bottom up in the round and is available in nine sizes. It calls for super fine yarn. 

Or there’s the knitted lace V-neck top from Exotic Works Hub. This one has lace panels on the front at the center and is otherwise worked mostly in stockinette stitch. It’s worked from the bottom up in fingering weight yarn and comes in six sizes.

The Mixed Rib Cami from Florence Miller is another on that caught my eye. Worked in light fingering weight yarn, it is worked from the top down using twisted rib stitches and optional waist shaping. It’s finished with I-cord edges for a super clean look. The pattern has nine sizes available and you can find it on Ravelry. 

Stine HoelgaardJohansen’s Golden Girl top is a cute sport weight top with a round neckline that’s deeper in the back, and worked from the bottom up in broken rib. There are nine size options (and six languages) and you can grab it for free on Ravelry. 

Prefer a sporty look? Andrea Gaughan’s Sumac tank is worked in fingering weight yarn from the top down with contrasting edges. The pattern has 10 sizes and two fit profiles, graded to a traditionally masculine or feminine frame respectively. You can find the pattern on Ravelry.
