Coloring is calming...and has a TON of additional benefits. Explore resources for children (and ADULTS) and start reducing anxiety and improving focus.

@edutooters @obi Yes, it is a lot of fun. I plsy CoDMW to relax, write, read, or toot. 🤣
@mguhlin I have 0 artistic skill. I don't even know if I could color within lines. Yeah, I stick to reading and hiking. @edutooters

...coloring is calming and liked by many, but some students/adults do not like the feel or smell of crayons. When you see a child/student avoiding coloring tasks this aversion to the feel and/or smell of crayons may be the reason. It may be helpful to ask (if verbal/sign language/symbol )as many children may not even know, understand, or be able to articulate this aversion.
@LexendFonts
Yes, excellent point. An crayons can be a little unsanitary in these times. Fortunately, the majority (maybe all but one) of resources in the article are digital. 😃

@mguhlin my wife started coloring to relax a few months ago out of nowhere. Really helps her. @edutooters
