Adult Colouring Books - That Make GREAT Gift Ideas!
So many creative souls are sharing their illustrations online for your colouring pleasure, but we shouldn't forget that there are whole books available too. After all free printable pages are great for personal use, but they don't really work well as a gift! Here are some of the most popular coloring books available today: 1 Enchanted Forest: An Inky Quest & Coloring Book - When is a colouring book not a colouring book? When it's also a quest that takes you through an enchanted forest to discover what secrets lie inside the castle. As you colour in each page you will also have to search for hidden objects and pass through intricate mazes! 2 Creative Coloring Inspirations: Art Activity Pages to Relax and Enjoy - If you love to colour using marker pens or water colours you need to make sure your chosen colouring book has nice thick pages so that the colours don't seep through, so this one is the perfect choice. And it is full of inspirational quotes too which are a great way to stimulate your sub-conscious while you paint or colour. 3 Creative Haven Entangled Coloring Book - If coloured pencils are your favourite medium then these beautiful illustrations are just what you need to relax and unwind, make sure you have a pencil sharpener handy though because some of the designs are pretty intricate! 4 Creative Haven NatureScapes Coloring Book - If whimsy and mandelas don't inspire you why not try this NatureScapes book which is full of spectacular illustrations from seashells on sand through to peacocks in flowering magnolia trees. And the thing I love most about this book is that the illustrations are all printed on one side of the paper only, and the pages are perforated, so once you've finished colouring or painting you can easily remove your art work and display it for others to see.Displaying Coloring Book Pages
