Benefits of Coloring Pages on Adults and Children
According to studies, coloring can calm the part of the brain that handles the fear and stress response. Coloring can achieve similar psychological benefits as praying and meditating without the need for active concentration. Coloring, just like other forms of art, can help people who are dealing with psychological problems such as depression, dementia, and anxiety.
For children, however, coloring can help children learn how to write and to draw lines and shapes. Children will learn also to be patient, which is necessary, along with time, when trying to completely color a page. Being able to finish their own piece of artwork can also elevate children’s confidence and self-esteem.
