How coloring books can help relax kids The impact of coloring for adults as an aid to help reduce stress is well documented. This is also true for children. Coloring helps to calm the brain of people of all ages. It certainly helps them improve their motor skills, improve focus and hand to eye coordination, and stimulates creativity. It allows them to learn spacial awareness, self-expression, and color awareness. Studies show that coloring also helps boost self-confidence and self-esteem. Improving focus is particularly true for coloring by numbers because children need to focus in order to complete the task at hand and make sure that they match the correct color to the assigned number. It seems like a small thing, but it's actually much more than just coloring. The coloring book works best with colored pencils or crayons. Markers can slightly bleed through the page. Enjoy!
