Mermaids- Calm Ocean Coloring Collection
If you’ve been looking for a book that is a happy medium between simple designs and overly patterned pages, Mermaids Calm Ocean Coloring Collection is definitely a coloring book you want to check out. This book is steeped in fantasy and will make you want to come back to this book again and again with your pencils. Are you a mermaid fan?
Enchanted Fairies
Delicate fairies with fluttering wings have been some of my favorites to color for a while, and Enchanted Fairies doesn’t disappoint. This fun book includes thirty-one pages full of gorgeous fairies nestled among flowers and trees. This is the kind of book where I find I use every single pencil!
Disney Villains
The bad guys are in town with this book! I love the concept in the Art of Disney Villains coloring book, it’s a book I want to sink my pencils right into. This book is heavily patterned, but many of the spaces you can fill in similarly to if you were coloring a book without the extra patterns. I also noticed that some of the images are modernized versions of the Villains. For example, Gaston from Beauty And The Beast is snapping selfies with an iPhone, Anastasia and Drizella from Cinderella show off their modern handbags. Overall the concepts in this book are super fun and it feels totally different from the typical coloring book!
Belles And Blossoms
These gorgeous maidens in the Belle And Blossoms coloring book are right out of a storybook! This book is packed with sixty-four pages of highly detailed, full-page illustrations. Expect many beautiful women set in backgrounds of beautiful sweeping floral illustrations. This book is bursting full of design for the intermediate to advanced person who loves to color. Don’t expect many white spaces in this book!
The Snow Queen
I know many people think of Frozen for kids, but what if they had options for adults too? This book called “Coloring The Classics: The Snow Queen” should totally fit the bill for the ice princess loving friend you know. Get ready to sharpen those blue and silver pencils for this book.
Fairy Art
Another beautiful Fairy Art coloring book, Fairy Art does not disappoint with fun and detailed drawings. This book is best described as “stunningly beautiful” with artwork that goes beyond your typical book. This is a book you will want to work through from beginning to end, is this more your style?
Disney Princesses
I am a big Disney fan; after all, I am just a kid at heart. When I stumbled across this Disney Princesses coloring book I have to say I was a little bit skeptical. I expected the book would be packed full of the classic princesses I’m familiar with, but what I wasn’t prepared for was the artistry on the page. These stylized pages are definitely gears more towards adults than kids. This book does have a lot more patterned filler pictures then I prefer, but overall it’s a fun book!

I still feel silly sometimes when I pull out my grown up coloring book. But I love it so much! I’ve always loved coloring, and I think it’s so cool that we’re now encouraged to continue doing it. I have a great big mandala one that just melts away stress.
I have 2 sisters in law who are both into these adult coloring books. I am sure they would love all of these.
The Disney Princess book would be fun to do in the hotel during naptime on a Disney Vacay!
I love looking at these books when I am at Costco or Barnes n noble. I even bought myself one, but sadly coloring isn’t relaxing to me.
I have never gotten an adult colouring book, I always used to colour when I was younger. Hmmm, maybe I should get one of these.
This is an awesome collection. I could gift the Belles & Bottom to my sister, she is bigtime into coloring.
Coloring is very relaxing. This is a great collection of coloring books for adults. Cool idea!
I love the coloring books. I would so love a Cinderella one, but these fairies would work, too!
I absolutely love coloring, even as an adult. It’s almost like the thrill of finishing a craft project sans glue gun. 😉 I love the mermaid one!
I think it awesome to have coloring books like this! It’s really calming and it helps you eliminate stress especially after a tough week at work.
These look absolutely gorgeous – I’d pick the mermaid one! I haven’t tried colouring books yet but it’s definitely on my to do list this year:) x
My daughter and I love coloring together. It’s so relaxing and lets my mind just clear out. I want some of these, especially the mermaid one!
These look like great coloring books. While I am not into coloring books since my kids are my stress relievers, I’ve seen a lot of people who are into it and they will really appreciate this.
Belle | One Awesome Momma
Beautiful colouring books. This look awesome and so relaxing to do. xx
These would be wonderful for adults who like this activity. I actually think this would be a great for teenagers or tweens as well. My daughters would love these.
I love that villains book! These look like great ways to unwind after a busy day of adulting.
I love the Disney coloring books!!!! I have a coloring book but never have the time to sit down and do it! Maybe I will try this week! 🙂
YES! Adult coloring is my new obsession. I find it so relaxing. Especially when there’s a glass of wine involved haha.
To be honest, I’ve never color the adult coloring book, but seeing all these fabulous books.. I think I want one. Enchanted Fairies are the one.
I recently got into adult coloring books. they are such a big stress reliever and brings back memories of enjoying coloring as a child.
I loooove adult coloring books. Relaxes me so much. I especially love the fantasy genre
