5 Mental Health Benefits of Adult Colouring (and a Free Printable to Get You Started!)

Here’s how adult colouring has been shown to help — and how it might support you, too.

Section 1 – Stress & Anxiety Reduction

Colouring engages the brain in a focused, gentle activity that helps reduce anxious thoughts and bring a sense of calm. It’s like meditation with colours!
💡 Try it when you’re feeling overwhelmed.

Section 2 – Improved Sleep

Unwinding with a colouring page before bed can help your brain slow down, especially when used as a tech-free wind-down ritual.
💤 Tip: Pair it with herbal tea for a more profound sense of rest.

Section 3 – A Meditation Alternative

For many neurodivergent people (and busy minds!), sitting still in silence can feel impossible. Colouring gives you a moving meditation that calms without pressure.

Section 4 – Improved Focus & Concentration

Colouring helps train your brain to focus on one thing at a time. It’s a low-pressure way to improve attention and presence, which is great for both kids and adults.

Section 5 – Creativity & Self-Expression

Even if you don’t consider yourself artistic, colouring helps you explore colours, patterns, and your inner world in a safe, expressive way. There’s no “wrong” way to colour — and that’s freeing.
