Simple Coloring Book for Adults Emma Ross

Coloring prevents boredom and has health benefits

Boredom in older adults can cause problems, including difficult behavior and depression. And, seniors who have moved in with relatives or into assisted living are more likely to be bored because their lives have changed so much.

Coloring may sound like a simple activity to ward off boredom, but it can actually improve health. A research study found that adults 65 or older who engaged in creative activities had better overall health, made fewer visits to the doctor, used less medication, and had fewer health problems.

It's also an excellent mood booster and de-stresser - making it a perfect activity for caregivers too!
