Adult coloring pages are all the rage these days, and for good reason!
Moms everywhere are learning how simple it is to relax when you are so focused on coloring these highly detailed and complex images.
The images take all of your concentration, so you truly get to relax while coloring!
Flower Coloring Pages for Adults
When we’re using these coloring pages to relax and distract ourselves from our hectic lifestyle, we better have something really pretty to focus on, right?
These floral adult coloring pages are complicated enough to require our advanced coloring skills, and they are so pretty!
My favorites are the intricate ones that play on designs on tulips and dahlias. Oh, and the one from By Dawn Nicole that’s a lovely hand drawn pattern with inspiring sayings.
Those are too cute!

Animal Coloring Sheets for Grown Ups
In addition to flower patterns, I think these animal coloring pages are just lovely.
From giraffes to frogs to peacocks, this list includes beautiful, complex coloring page you’ll adore!
I like to color these printables and put them in my Bible study binder.
I know some people like to use these as binder covers or keep them on the kitchen table for some “adult quiet time.” And others use this for mindfulness exercises.
No matter what, they sure are calming to color. I can’t believe grown up coloring pages haven’t been around forever!

Create Your Own Mandala Designs
If you’d rather prefer to create your own mandala coloring pages, I have a tool recommendation for that, too!
Sometimes I prefer to play around with designing something of my own on the computer instead of actually coloring….then I give my creations to my kids! They love it when I make them something unique!

Hi Lena, your blog is really nice! Is it made in WordPress? It looks like it was designed by a professional. If not, is it possible to design a blog about crafts similar to yours in WordPress? My website (link below) is a premade theme that I really liked but it is in Blogger. Please take a look and tell me what you think of it, where I can improve, if you think I should have a blog on WordPress. I need help. I need to get into this blogging business to make a living. I have a deep passion for creativity and crafting and that’s why I made my main blog about crafts so I would stay interested in it. However, although I understand how Internet income is made by clicking on ads that are on the blog, I haven’t made much at all with Google Adsense or as an affiliate for Amazon. I have over 500 clicks on my Amazon links for June and July 2016 and have not had one single conversion. I am so frustrated and that’s why I thought if you could provide any insights as a successful woman in this blogging business, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance, Nancy.

Hi Nancy – The link to your blog doesn’t seem to be working. To answer your question, yes I have a WordPress site. a self-hosted WordPress site is the only way I recommend starting a blog that you want to actually make you money down the road. I think there is lots of room for more crafty blogs! I love going to them to get ideas.
