Colouring time is one of the rare activities that scales across generations without competition pressure.

Benefits for kids

  • Better hand-eye control
  • Improved patience and persistence
  • Safe emotional expression through colour

Benefits for adults

  • Quick stress decompression
  • Reduced screen-overload fatigue
  • More present moments with children

When a family colours together, conversation becomes easier because attention is shared but relaxed.
