I suppose there is no excuse for getting "out of the lines" now, as there was when we were beginner "colorers".

But now we have those high tech colored pencils.

I have a Civil War coloring book I got our daughter several years ago. Her 2 daughters have colored in it now. It teaches too as you color.

I love the idea. I know a few artists who own books and color for fun, relaxation, and meditation. Helps ease your brain into that cool mental flow we all enjoy when we're concentrating on something enjoyable.

Amazon and Barnes & Noble have been really pushing the coloring books for adults lately, the one I go to even has a display with fancy colored pencils and colored ink pens along with the coloring books. It's supposed to be a relaxing, calming thing to do, sort of like therapy. I didn't realize they had Civil War themed ones! Must get a lovely one with pretty dresses in it! Thanks for sharing!

Ah, but there's nothing like real Crayola Crayons of our childhoods.

Still love the smell when you open a fresh box of Crayola Crayons. It takes me right back to childhood and all the fun crafts with paste, pipe cleaners and safety scissors

I love the crayons too. Always enjoy coloring with my Grandchildren. I have always encouraged art projects and making crafts. Our daughter and her 2 young daughters have made several ornaments this year.

When I was little crayons came in a 8 pack or a 16 pack, now I believe you can get a 128 pack.thats alot of colors.

OK, my wife loves her coloring book. Guess it relaxes her mindlessly concentrate on the page. But if there is an ACW coloring book, I do have to get her that.

That will put off the completion of my 5th NY cross-stitch thingy (which she's been working on and off for the last 10 or 15 years). Will have to run off to Barnes & Noble Friday.

The books by Alan H. Archambault are more than just coloreing books but also full of good information of the kind that would be of interest to everyone from grade schoolers to adults. They are also at offering in every NPS bookstore at good prices.

I live about 45 minutes from the Crayola factory in Easton, Pennsylvania. They have a place for kids called the Crayola Factory, where kids can do all kinds of painting, clay work, coloring, melted crayon artwork, etc. They also have exhibits and games for the kids. It's really cool! We took my son there many times when he was little--I miss it now that he's too old for it. You could even make your own "mixed" color crayons, and create a name for the paper label!

Just thought bump this older thread on coloring books. As I stated I like to color. Find it relaxing. I have many types. Do have a Civil War one and one on the First Ladies.

My late cousin really liked to color. She been into making her own cards and some painting. But when she got cancer she found coloring a help. I still have many of cards she sent. They are really beautiful.

This is much better than the discussion of the Jefferson Davis Coloring Book!

Oh yeah, I knew about this one. I spent most of my puberty years as a Marvel "expert", and this was through their creator-owned Epic imprint. I've still never read it.
