Colouring books are something we first come to know when we are kids, carefulling choosing the colors and filling in the outlines with a great deal of concentration. But these are not just for children anymore! Recently, a lovely variety of “colouring books for adults” caught our eye! They are not what you might think they are. Simply, the practice and games found in these books have gradually evolved from kids’ stuff to things more suited to adults: drawing anatomy, colouring your favourite manga, folding coloured origami or even filling in the colours on a Nintendo DS!

When I was in elementary school, I was enrolled in the gifted program. One of the exercised we were given was to take three crayons and color in a mandala without having any of the three colors touch each other on subsequent shapes. I was very good at that. :o)

I was in GT classes also. We were learning how to email and could not believe that one day you would be able to send email to friends outside of that particular computer. Someone brought an AMIGA in for a demonstration and nobody could believe all of these useless functions. Just those horrible IIe's. But were we interested in notebooks? No we were not!

Every coloring book can be a coloring book for adults! ;)
