I adored colouring in as a child and now I am a mum I enjoy colouring with my children. In the last few months, I have noticed that adult colouring books have become really popular and I have been tempted to get myself a one. Well, now there is also a monthly colouring magazine available for adults called Calm Colour Create.
The magazine is filled with 60 + pages of beautiful calming black and white designs for you to colour in, with a mix of patterns, mandalas and triangle designs. The magazine is great quality and very appealing and as soon as I received it I wanted to start colouring straight away.
The magazine came complete with a set of five pencils, which was handy as all we have is half chewed crayons in our house. I found this magazine really relaxing and calming and it was the perfect way to sit and relax on an evening once my children were in bed.

I was sent the first issue of Calm, Colour, Create which has an ocean theme which includes lots of fish and underwater designs. The next issue is available from the end of August and retails at £4.99 which I think is a good price for such a good quality magazine that will give you hours of relaxing colouring fun.
You can buy Calm, Colour, Create from all leading supermarkets and good newsagents each month and I personally will be buying the next issue as I really enjoyed the first one. If you fancy trying out the magazine yourself then I have a giveaway in which three readers can win a copy of Calm Colour Create for themselves.
