✍️Coloring isn't just for kids! For adults 65 and older, it’s a powerful tool for relaxation, creativity, and connection. 💞Coloring has been shown to reduce stress, boost mood, and even help with focus and memory.
According to the American Art Therapy Association, creative activities like coloring give older adults a way to express themselves, support emotional health, and feel a real sense of accomplishment.
