Sea Animal Designs Adult Coloring Book - Stress Relief & Relaxation for Mindfulness, Meditation, and Creative Therapy | Ocean-Themed Art Therapy Activity

Purchased this adult coloring book (Kindle download edition) to check if we want to purchase this book & to test out the multiple download pages. We have checked out many of the these type of coloring books & these compare better than most for design & challenge to color; which is what we are looking for in a coloring art project. This book is lacking in unique patterns (compared to other books from this company), and many of the patterns seem to be slightly similar to others in this book & other books from this company.We also love that you can download certain pages to try out before you purchase any coloring book from Coloring Therapists. The pages to download are a mixture of what they have to offer from 6 different books. Plus we like that we can print them on thicker paper to color on; we use art paper or bright cardstock to make the colors pop. This bonus makes it nicer all around, to be able to use quality color pencils on quality art paper, to get a nicer finished art project. We hang our completed pictures right next to our niece's projects on the frig; in one of those nice frames that holds 30-40 pages for display.We started coloring a few years ago with our niece & it made us feel so relaxed, that we checked into adult color books, now they seem to be very popular & easier to find. Another nice thing in this book, is in foreword it goes over the benefits & importance of coloring. It also explains that coloring is good for Alzheimer's & Dementia and helps with stress & anxiety; all of which we found very interesting.Pros:Easy to download onto our KindleGreat as a preview, before you make a purchaseUnique & complex patterns to color, in a few of the pictures& Includes bonus download pages to test; which we already have used, printed & colored a few different pages.Cons:Download samples are not from this book, but there are 6 different books to print pages from. Plus you cannot print them from your Kindle, which seems odd.Pictures are too simple, some are small in size & most are similar to others throughout the book & to pictures in other books by Coloring Therapists.& Price is decent, but could be better...maybe they could make a larger book or bundle a few books to help lower the overall cost.Overall we really like this adult coloring book (Kindle download edition) and would recommend this to anyone looking to check out the artwork before buying the paperback book. This book gave us a preview and now since we like this book, we will probably buy the actual coloring book since we cannot print out each page. Just a quick side note...we thought our niece would enjoy doing this book with us, but found out it is not for most children of a younger age; since they might become frustrated with the thin & tight coloring areas. For the lack of unique designs, and too many similar type pictures, we had to give this book a 4-star rating.Disclosure: This product was received for free to be evaluated, tested & reviewed; however this in no way influences our process in leaving product feedback ratings.
