Colouring

We spent the morning colouring in some lovely pictures today, we chose a colour by numbers activity which was a Christmas Gingerbread house and our residents really enjoyed colouring it in. We also had a good go at our Word searches which our residents liked and found very relaxing.

It is said that colouring in has the ability to relax and re focus our attention , it is also suggested that it induces the same state as meditating and lets you switch off your brain from other thoughts and can also help with remembering things. We use colour therapy a lot in our activity sessions and we always find such a positive outcome with it.
