adult coloring
Mature creative pastime
Adult coloring refers to coloring books and activities designed for grown-ups rather than children, featuring intricate patterns, mandalas, or detailed illustrations.
The activity gained popularity in the 2010s as a stress-relief and mindfulness practice: She unwinds with adult coloring after work.
The designs are more complex than children's coloring books, requiring fine-tipped markers or colored pencils.
