The Importance of Coloring for Kids: More Than Just Fun

For generations, coloring has been a favorite activity among kids. I remember coloring and doing arts & crafts with my mom all the time when I was younger. I’ll always cherish the holiday craft activities—she found the best things to color and create, making my one-on-one time with her priceless. I will always hold those memories dear in my heart.

So with that in mind, I created a FREE 15-page SOUL AFFIRMATION COLORING BOOK for kids & tweens that features magical mandalas. This is the perfect way for parents and children to turn off the electronics and enjoy each other's company. Kids are thirsty for connection and it all starts at home. Grab your FREE copy here.

The benefits of coloring go far beyond keeping kids busy though. Coloring mandalas can energetically cleanse and reset their aura, helping them release negative energies and align with higher frequencies. 

When was the last time you saw a kid stay upset after coloring? Probably never. Our energy, which makes up 99.999% of us, can sometimes get off-balance. That’s why tools like coloring are essential to help kids release negative vibes and embrace the good ones.

Here are my top 5 reasons why every kid should color weekly:

1) Encourages Mindfulness

Coloring helps kids focus on the present moment, grounding their thoughts and calming their minds. The repetitive motion of coloring can spark a meditative state, soothing their energy field and reducing anxiety.

Using specific colors tied to Chakras in coloring activities helps balance their energy centers. The act of coloring stimulates this flow of energy throughout the body. (To learn more about Chakras, check out my blog article HERE).

Creativity represents what your soul wants to say to the world. Coloring allows kids to tap into their inner creativity, which strengthens their connection to their higher selves.

Coloring fun and joyful images with affirmations raises their vibrational frequency, attracting more joy and positive experiences into their lives.

Coloring side-by-side creates a relaxed, pressure-free environment where natural conversations can flow. Without the usual distractions of daily life, kids might feel more comfortable opening up about their thoughts, feelings, or any concerns they have. If your child is old enough to be around candles 🕯 safely, light one nearby. I find this elevates the energy clearing. Always supervise kids around fire.🔥

So the next time emotions are running high, take a break with your child. Print out my FREE Soul Affirmation Coloring Book, grab some crayons, and let the calming power of coloring work its magic. Trust me…it works!
