National Coloring Day

The annual event National Coloring Day takes place on September 14 each year. Let your imagination soar on National Coloring Day by using crayons, colored pencils, markers, paint, or oil pastels.
You can celebrate National Coloring Day by taking time for yourself and your mind. There are many ways to celebrate National Coloring Day, so get creative!


A coloring party is an exciting idea for National Coloring Day. Print free coloring pages online if you don’t have a coloring book. National Today suggests using some plain paper and printing free coloring pages online. The joys of coloring can be shared with your friends on National Coloring Day. Buy a coloring book with perforated pages and spread them out on any flat surface.
National Today also suggests donating art supplies. Make a difference by donating coloring supplies to your local school art program on National Coloring Day. Unfortunately, schools are experiencing reduced budgets for exemplary arts programs. Several libraries also offer after-school programs, and your generous donation may make coloring one of the kids’ favorite activities,” said National Today.


Besides the fact that coloring promotes wellness, coloring is fun and takes you beyond coloring books; National Coloring Day offers many other reasons to love it. According to National Today, coloring is a profoundly beneficial hobby because it is both creative and repetitive. By doing so, the mind can get involved and let some of those high-level cognitive functions rest. National Today reports that coloring is also wordless, which allows your linguistic processes to relax.

As well as reducing stress, coloring is a highly creative activity that can serve as a relaxing activity.
