ERM, me.  ;D I even bought some fancy pencils which don't need sharpening. One I got has very intricate pictures. Not long started using it.

Ooo right, now I know what to look for.

I loved colouring in with my kids and hated it when they went over the lines  ;D.

I was the one who enjoyed it most .

I've got a couple of adult colouring books but get bored - I think I too need the normal kid's colouring books!!

Always loved colouring as a child, with my own children and with my granddaughter. Bought myself a colouring book recently, quite cheaply in a local shop. I don't like the ones that are too intricate or with really heavy black lines so shop around as there are plenty to choose from. DH also found me some to print off the internet, a lovely butterfly one that I gave to my grandaughter after I coloured it in shades of purple and pink which matched her bedroom- she loved it..
It is a very relaxing thing to do especially on these dark winter days when gardening is off the agenda and if you are buying a book for someone else there are lots of themed ones- birds, gardens, landscapes etc to suit different interests.

My daughter (23) and I love them - we both have a large box of coloured pencils the DH bought us (cheap from The Works, but lovely to use!) and spend hours lost in our own world.  We enjoy the intricate designs, but there's lots of different styles available.

They are a great idea for long flights, especially if you don't like flying

Sorry to stir up the mud, but for me, colouring in is for kids.

I guess I haven't quite grown up yet  ;D

I have asked hubby for one for Xmas and will get my sis one too.
I'm really looking forward to it.
