Our 2026 project is a coloring book complete with colored pencils! There are 57 images of everything that bloomed this past Spring! This coloring book is designed to introduce the color pencil and all its wonders! It teaches color usage, pencil technique and gradation of tones and blending. Just start by looking at the color pencil version and try to copy what you see! If you already have the sweet skill of color pencils, then get creative! To access the colored pencil versions of each image press below on “illustrated images” . Use these images to see how to “color” in the black and white images in your coloring book. This book is designed for adults, but is a great tool to teach the use of color pencils to younger folks!

Coloring can lower stress levels by up to 35% within minutes.

Creative activities activate the brain’s reward system, improving mood.

Screen free creative time can improve overall well-being.

Enjoy!
