Get Ready to Show Off Your Coloring Skills!

Do you love coloring? Are you always striving to perfect your coloring skills? If so, then we have just the event for you! National Coloring Book Day is coming up on August 2nd, 2023, and it’s time to gather your friends, family, and co-workers for a coloring showdown! This day is for everyone, from kids to adults, to celebrate the joy of coloring and its many benefits. So get out your crayons, colored pencils, markers, or any other coloring medium you choose, and let’s get ready to color!

National Coloring Book Day was introduced by Dover in 2015 to celebrate their most successful line of adult coloring books, Creative Haven®, which was launched in 2012. Since then, it has become an annual event celebrated by coloring enthusiasts everywhere. The day is all about having fun, expressing creativity, reducing stress, and socializing with others who love coloring. If you’re feeling competitive, you can host a coloring party at home, work, or a café and challenge your friends to a coloring face-off.

There are many reasons why coloring is such a popular hobby. It is proven to have numerous health benefits, such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving focus and concentration, and promoting mindfulness and relaxation. It is also a great way to explore your creativity, learn new techniques, and improve your artistic skills. Whether you’re an experienced colorist or a beginner, National Coloring Book Day is the perfect opportunity to take your coloring skills to the next level.
