They had quite a few to choose from. The store I went to had them on the same aisle as the Crayola crayons and markers.</p> <p> I am just using Crayola colored pencils for now. They work ok, but if I get more into it I may buy some nicer supplies. </p> [attach=3946/15/noaeu6.600x348.20150513_075533.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books/page/2#post-2176255 Tue, 12 May 2015 21:18:04 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2176255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NCSUchick27: Just wanted to say thanks for posting and to all the ladies who contributed!!

I started in a page but haven't finished one. It's definitely a stress reliever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books#post-2176054 Tue, 12 May 2015 16:27:36 +0000 DillonLion 2176054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was one of the activities we did during my bachelorette party sleepover! We colored until 3 am.

You can get them for 40% off with the ever present Michael's coupon. Not an option where you are though. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books#post-2176024 Tue, 12 May 2015 15:58:45 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2176024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: @oliviaoblivia: I checked Amazon and now have sticker shock! :silly: It's even more expensive on AmazonUK. </p> <p>But you ladies helped a ton because it directed me to a cheaper alternative. I think I'll give these Staedtler Ergosoft and Triplus Colour 323 a whirl! Woohoo! I'm excited! </p> [attach=1448/15/no98xx.600x600.colors.jpg] [attach=1448/15/no98xy.600x480.pens.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books#post-2176013 Tue, 12 May 2015 15:47:14 +0000 dc yoga bee 2176013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: Whoa!!!!!

I also have an older set of my mom's prismacolors that I use, but really, any pencil crayons will do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books#post-2175977 Tue, 12 May 2015 15:22:39 +0000 tofuwad 2175977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love getting mandala coloring books (I also like ones with Celtic knot designs), they tend to be very elaborate but still geometric and symmetrical, and I love them. I usually use high quality colored pencils to color and find it super relaxing and meditative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books#post-2175973 Tue, 12 May 2015 15:19:53 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2175973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: I like fine pint sharpies! </p> [attach=1597/15/no9755.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books#post-2175964 Tue, 12 May 2015 15:14:10 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2175964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: I'm getting that one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books#post-2175960 Tue, 12 May 2015 15:13:40 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2175960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NCSUchick27: @tinyperson: @Mrs. Pen: @gentlelunette: @looch: What do you recommend coloring with (brand and type)? Pens or pencils? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books#post-2175909 Tue, 12 May 2015 14:28:37 +0000 Truth Bombs 2175909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whoa. I can't believe I'm the only one who finds coloring super tedious. I HATE coloring. I want it to be over but I also want it to be perfect so I just find it stressful trying to do it both quickly and correctly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books#post-2175906 Tue, 12 May 2015 14:27:45 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2175906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got this one: <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/books/dp/184994167X" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.co.uk/books/dp/184994167X</a></p> <p>I was looking at fancy pencils, but just got a crayola 50 pack and they work very well... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books#post-2175904 Tue, 12 May 2015 14:26:37 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2175904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How interesting!

In the book I have, the pages are quite thick so the ink doesn't bleed. Coloured pencils would be my next choice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books#post-2175254 Tue, 12 May 2015 08:49:01 +0000 NCSUchick27 2175254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Colored pencils would work well because some of the designs are pretty detailed. I think some people also use colored gel pens. Crayons would work on the larger designs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books#post-2175239 Tue, 12 May 2015 08:35:58 +0000 autumnlove 2175239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books#post-2175229 Tue, 12 May 2015 08:32:17 +0000 catlady 2175229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered the Secret Garden one from @tinyperson's link about a month ago and am still waiting on it. Just got an email from the author saying that the demand has far outpaced production, so I'm guessing lots of adults are getting into coloring these days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books#post-2175224 Tue, 12 May 2015 08:30:55 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2175224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to doodle but I haven't found an adult book that I love, so I just bought a few Disney books that I tear pages out of and stash in my everyday notebook for times when I want to doodle and color. It's definitely a great way to zone out for a few minutes (or longer, if there's time) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adult-coloring-books#post-2175220 Tue, 12 May 2015 08:29:37 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2175220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want one!! I doodle non stop. I should order. Thanks for reminding me :) </p>
