“I absolutely adore this! It’s perfect for stress relief at the office (of course, I do have to hide it from the bosses!). The pictures are funny and both detailed enough to keep me entertained, but not overwhelming that I feel as if I will never get them done.” (From Amazon Reviews)
Sasha’s coloring books tend to be less graphic than some I’ve seen so for me are more enjoyable because I like to share my coloring and I’m not comfortable sharing certain words on social media. Don’t get me wrong.. it’s a cuss word coloring book but also tends to be more humorous versus vulgar. Let us know what you think via social media.
Sasha O’Hara was our top selling Curse Word Coloring Book artist last year so apparently, everyone loves her books! Here is a list of Sasha’s Irreverent Adult Coloring Books
Do your Job and your Boss suck! How about your coworkers? Can’t stand to smile for another obnoxious ungrateful customer? Rid yourself of the job blues by coloring in the fantasy phrases you wish you could say.
My X’s name is Fred, and this illustration looks way too much like him. I guess I should buy it for him for Christmas eh? Anyway, this looks to be a fun stress reliever if you have ever had a fantasy about killing your boss.
A curse word coloring book with explicit language with the words decorating by several templates of designs including geometric and flower backdrops. The illustrator Jacqueline Monique has also included “Bleed blocker” pages you can tear out to put behind your designs so the markers don’t bleed through. The print quality is good. At the back of the book are blank templates complete with cuss word phrases that you can doodle on yourself. The artist comes from a family of artists. We asked where she got the inspiration for the book. “As for the book, it’s a funny story. A friend of mine made me really angry one day. I was so upset, I got a surge of inspiration and channeled it into a single coloring composition of swear words. I shared one at work with a frustrated colleague and next thing I know other colleagues were asking for copies. So I decided to make an entire book within that genre. We’re still friends btw”
Unleash your Inner Parent in this coloring book designed to de-stress the haggard parental units. Filled with words and phrases you would never say to your child but are thinking in your head.
This one has great reviews but knows that is it a smaller book designed to tuck easily into your purse or briefcase for stress relief anywhere you go. 30 single-sided 8×8 pages in this book. When you click to purchase you can see each of the words that are illustrated in this swear word coloring book.
This coloring book has lots of UK curse words and phrases in it which for some reason always sound much more cultured that phrases the Yanks like to say…. for instance Knob Goblin. I’ve no idea what that means but it sounds funny.
This was the best review on Amazon. “You really want to relieve stress while coloring well then just open this book and start cussing and coloring away with these very naughty kitties…..You get 24 designs of cats spelling out the actual curse word with expressions on their face to die for……Their little faces actually looked Surprised or in Shock while their bodies bend in all different positions to spell out bad words……The designs cover the entire page….
They are printed on one side of the page…..On very thin white paper because Cat’s just don’t care enough about where they go.
Single – sided pages Sized to frame at 8.5 x 11 printed on white paper. Each page varies from moderate to complex in detail some pages have a mosaic feel while other words are made from flowers, flourishes, and butterflies
“My middle finger salutes you.” If you ever want to give your boss a middle finger, this unconventional adult coloring book is the perfect cure for the itch of your tender mind. The 26 pro-artists prepared illustrations match perfectly with the words and phrases you want to speak out loud but never dare to. Now it’s THE time to remove your civilized mask and enjoy your true self.
These books honestly aren’t my thing but I received this book from Sasha O’Hara a few days ago and I really am enjoying it. Christmas really does bring out the worst in some people and this page mostly has cute/naughty pages in it. My first one to color was “Don’t get your tinsel in a tangle” with the new gel pens I was reviewing (enjoyed both) and then the “BITE ME” gingerbread man. My next page will be the cocktails page with “Holiday Survival Kit”. Click to Order Amazon USAmazon UKAmazon Canada
This list goes on and on.. please note that while these books are a fun way to blow off steam that most of them that I have seen in person aren’t the greatest quality printing or paper so don’t expect artist quality paper.. these are mostly just for fun. If YOU Have created one that you think is above average, please send me a copy to review.
If you are new to Adult coloring books here are a couple of pages to help you get started.
I STRONGLY recommend downloading the Hobby Lobby & Michaels App to your smartphone. That way you always have the coupons with you. Being the clumsy person I am.. I ALWAY forget the coupons at home or in the other car or the other purse.. you get me, Right?
AMAZON PRIME – If you aren’t a member you should look into it.
If you are new to coloring or just want to dive in a little deeper be sure to read our expansive supply recommendations along with our tips and tricks articles.
Many seniors will like any of the coloring books we have featured on the site already, however, some either because of vision, dementia or fine motor control issues may need to have coloring books for seniors that are better suited to them.
This review says it all“This is a wonderful coloring book. I’m 36, but I have severe arthritis, chronic pain, and several other health issues that lead to my hands being very shaky. Also, when I have to concentrate on the very small designs in some other coloring books, it often gives me a headache. This book is one of only 2 or 3 “simple” coloring books for adults out there. But, really, the designs are not “simple” at all, the areas to color are a bit larger than most you find in adult coloring books. This would be good for anyone: adults who might prefer their coloring areas not be so intricate, those with arthritis or other health problems like me, older adults, and even, perhaps, adults with Alzheimers or bad eyesight. To the author: please, please think about doing more of this kind of coloring book! There is such a need for less intricate books like this. I’ve posted it to the RA website (there is a post that talks about coloring) and also recommended it to friends who are also registered nurses (as I once was) to use in their assisted living centers and nursing homes.”
This coloring book was designed specifically for seniors, beginners, disabled people and those with various other issues that require MUCH easier coloring pages. Or maybe you just like simpler books. This is a simplified version of the Simple Designs book above. Many of the drawings are similar but simpler than Simple Designs. It is drawn with bolder lines to help those who have vision problems. Also, this book is great for beginners or anyone who feels like kicking back with an easier picture to color. This book has 36, one-sided, SIMPLE pages to color. A perfect coloring book for seniors, disabled, those with rheumatoid arthritis, anxiety, It seems to have calming, relaxing, and anti-stress characteristics.
Ari Seth Cohen is the author of this unique book featuring stylish seniors dressed in high fashion. The senior ladies on your gift list are really going to enjoy the illustrations in this book and the celebration of women “of a certain age,” indeed we are fans of celebrating women of all ages. The paper is your basic Createspace quality and it contains only 30 illustrations, a bit thin for the price but it is still a great buy for that perfect person.
The subject matter of these two coloring books makes them perfect for seniors, both by Creative Haven so expect single-sided images on perforated white paper.
This pretty nature book was personally recommended by Ruth, one of the members of the Facebook group as a fantastic coloring book for seniors, and I agree with her. It’s perfect! Simple designs yet more realistic than Kimberly Garvey’s, particularly if you are a nature and bird lover.
I’ve recently been introduced to this coloring book illustrator Aisling D’Art and her series of books Bold and Easy Coloring Pages. She has several versions and they are designed to be colored by those with mobility difficulties, vision issues or hand-eye coordination.
Ronnie Walter’s coloring cafe books are spiral bound filled with biblical and uplifting verses and messages with simple designs perfect for seniors to color in.
What a great idea! This is the first of these I have seen with the color by numbers with spaces big enough to see. Even in my 50’s I have a hard time with the adult color by number books but this one looks great. If anyone has seen it in person, please let us know what you think.
Even though we are grown-up, coloring things that remind us of our past glory days is particularly satisfying. They call it “retro” but to baby-boomers, it might feel like yesterday.
My favorite thing about going to the doctor when I was a kid was the kids books. I particularly loved Highlights.
This iconic coloring book features a nostalgic collection of intricate, challenging black-and-white Hidden Pictures puzzles for a grown-up audience. Helping to re-discover a beloved childhood pastime.
Fun Coloring Books for Seniors by Thaneeya McArdle
Thaneeya’s books are fun and have simple large areas to color, as well as examples for colors to use both in the front and the back of her books. Kemberlee, one of our reviewers pointed out that lots of seniors were once 60’s & 70’s hippies so they might really enjoy these books even though they aren’t targeted specifically to senior citizens.
Angie Grace also has mandala coloring books for those that have vision issues or prefer larger spaces to shade in with pencils or pens. These books with larger spaces may be better for seniors or younger children that find Angie’s patterns too complex and intricate.
Coloring Books for Seniors with Alzheimer’s Disease
The Best Alzheimer’s Products website says that Stained Glass Coloring Books are particularly good for seniors because of the thicker black lines that are fairly simple to stay within.
One of the members of the Facebook Coloring Book Addicts group has been sharing her pages from this book and it looks perfect for seniors. It is 8 1/2 x 11 printed on 1 side of the paper. It is a Createspace book.
We will be adding to this article as we come across new recommendations. Please feel free to ping us on our social media accounts if you have suggestions or leave them in the comments below.
Adult Coloring Book with swear words that Granny would say. “Well Bless Your Little Heart,” or “Son of a Biscuit!” Another pretty cuss word coloring book for you.
This book has phrases like “Gee Willikers! What the devil are you doin’? Get your crapola off the flippin’ floor, shut your pie hole, and help me with these cotton pickin’ children you lazy jackwagon!”

We recently received this absolutely gorgeous bible verse coloring book and had to share it with our readers. Many requests come in for one-sided coloring books where people can use markers, well this one is it. SUPER thick one-sided illustrations featuring beautiful artwork from several artists along with hand-lettered bible verses. We have been blown away by the quality of this coloring book. The publishers didn’t stop with just coloring, they have also created a playlist of worship music to go along with your coloring. This is my video flip through showing the pages of “Whatever is Lovely“ and then below the promo video talking about various other aspects of the book.
We live in such a busy, hectic world—but what waits for you inside this adult coloring book is a way to quiet the noise, express creativity, and spend some sweet time with God. Each page features an original design from one of a dozen different artists, beautifully illustrating a contemplative quote from an inspirational writer, a beloved hymn, or Scripture.
When we create, we echo the heart of our Creative God who designed everything and gave us the capacity to recognize beauty.

Soul Coats depicts bible stories throughout the old and new testament with a full key in the back with the full verse for each page. The paper is thick and the book is professionally published. I enjoyed using colored pencils, markers and gel pens on the pages I have colored so far. I don’t recommend watercolors as the paper buckles quite a bit.
Zondervanis a respected name in the Christian publishing world for producing beautiful works and they have stepped forward in the coloring book world as well.
The illustrations are accompanied by words from the timeless, inspirational hymn “Amazing Grace.” During moments of quiet reflection, this collection of peaceful images is sure to fill your heart with joy and rest as you delight in God’s saving grace and His love for you while coloring these beautiful illustrations and lyrics.
My very first journey into adult coloring books was with Joanne FinksZenspiration series. She is very in touch with her faith when she is creating each of her books but particularly her Inspirations Designs to feed your spirit. You can color the pages in as well as pattern within some of the spaces using her technique that she teaches throughout her books and on YouTube.
I have just begun a little bit of artistic bible journaling (yes coloring in your bible) and there are several coloring books I love to use because I’m not much of an artist but you can use these books to not only color inside of but as tracing patterns for the margins of your journaling bible.
Karla Dornacher – Devotional Coloring Books for Adults
I adore Author/Artist Karla Dornacher. She is passionate about sharing hope, encouragement, and inspiration in everything she does. She not only has two inspirational adult coloring books but Karla also writes and illustrates Christian Devotional books as well including “Love In Every Room,” “The Sweet Taste of Friendship,” “Sweet as Apple Pie” and “Down A Garden Path“, as well as several other Christian Inspirational Gift and Devotional books of the same style.
Her two coloring books, Simple Blessings: Coloring Designs to Encourage Your Heart and Garden Blessings: Scriptures and Inspirations to Color Your World are perfect for my bible journaling and quiet time coloring/bible study and reflection time. Simply open the pages like you would your bible and look for God’s words and Karla’s illustrations to speak to you. These coloring books are 60 pages and printed on one side. Karla gives you permission to use her images for your own use in many ways (Color and Cut, use for bible Journaling, scrapbooking or any and all paper crafting. Print as many copies as you need for personal use, gift-giving or ministry work)
Not every page in this book is inspirational, as the description says “Sprinkles of Scripture Here & There”. This book also boasts perforated one-sided illustrations as well as gift tags, cards and bookmarks to color in. The bookmarks are one of the things I particularly love to use for tracing in my journaling bible.

This Posh book is really fun & easy to color in, I tuck it in my purse for easy on the go boredom busting and a bit of positive energy to keep me going.

The snow is falling and the Christmas lights are starting to go up so, of course, we need to have some Christmas Coloring Books to keep us calm before during and after Black Friday madness.
Now that Coloring Books for Adults are an institution, there are a whole lot of Christmas coloring books available including Christmas Coloring Cards this year. We have searched for the most beautiful choices for you. Please let me know in the comments or on social media if I’ve overlooked your favorite.
My Picks for Christmas Coloring Books for Adults 2019
My top choice this year is the Queen of Colorings’ Christmas offering….
Something rather special for the festive season! Johanna’s Christmas is available NOW!
This book features 40 collectible, perforated pull-out prints, ideal for framing or giving as gifts. The perfect Christmas present for coloring fans. The illustrations are printed on one side of the ivory paper only, to allow you to remove your work of art without sacrificing the image on the reverse.
Delicate tangles of holly and ivy, bauble-laden Christmas trees and mountains of exquisitely wrapped gifts are all waiting to be brought to life in this new collection of pull-out prints. From flurries of delicate snowflakes to deliciously decorated gingerbread houses and reindeer-led sleighs, Johanna’s Christmas is a celebration of this wonderful holiday season that invites you to pick up your pens and pencils to color, complete or embellish each of the festive artworks. Hidden in this book are a flock of elusive little robins – can you spot them all?
Masja van den Berg is an artist in the Netherlands selling her books on Etsy. Her images are magical and her books are all beautiful hand-drawn and printed on single-sided on thick environment-friendly paper. If you purchase $35 worth of products from her your shipping to the US is free. If you sign up for her mailing list you will get the download of this cover image for free to color. I’ve seen dozens of her images colored on Instagram and have fallen in love. This is a brand new book for 2019.
If you haven’t yet discovered the Good Wives & Warriors design team you are in for a treat. I am absolutely in love with the 5 books (plus one on pre-order) that I’ve received and colored in. They are all two-sided coloring books with nice paper for lots of blending, layering and shading for colored pencil fans and they are smaller square books that allow you to finish up a project in a day or two of TV watching coloring.
Escape to Christmas Past is an homage to Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” Evocative Christmas scenes and characters from Charles Dickens’ famous story of Ebenezer Scrooge and Marley’s ghost, threaded with imaginative, delicate patterns all clearly outlined in pen and ink, make ideal compositions to color. Pivotal extracts from the story are scattered throughout for inspiration, and there are spaces left within some of the compositions for individual design and embellishment. I promise you will adore this book.
Sherri Baldy’s My Besties “Winter Snowman” Coloring Book is the first time she has created holiday illustrations. Her fun big-eyed snow people besties are great coloring for all ages, adults, and children too. You get 50 coloring pages 2 of each image is printed single~sided so you can frame or give away your colorful Bestie creations. This is a simpler book than you are used to with just the cute girl on the page, so if you like them more complex, this isn’t the book for you, but like you see in the picture above it does give you lots of space to play with background effects, chalk, and stencils.
#6 All Is Bright: A Devotional Journey to Color Your Way to Christmas
I just received this gorgeous coloring book from the publisher Tyndale House and completely fell in love with it. It’s an Advent coloring count-down, prayer journal, bible study, family activity book all rolled into one. The illustrations by Lizzie Preston are just beautiful depicting different scenes about the season and accompanying commentaries by Nancy Guthrie lead you from December 1 – December 31. The back pages even contain kid-friendly coloring pages along the same theme as the book. Now let’s talk about the paper, it’s glorious! The nice thick paper we all love to color on, the size is the standard large square 9.7 x 9.6. Check the YouTube channel for my flip through too.
English translation is My Winter Walk, making this coloring book not specifically Christmas but it has lots of Christmas as well as throughout the winter weather scenes to color. Rita Berman’s illustration style is quite iconic and I’ll be you’ll become a fan and want all of her seasonal books. This book has 80 pages with a page size smaller than the standard Johanna Basford measuring 8″ x 8″.
This German coloring book is new to the US coloring audience this year although it’s been available on Book Depository.
The book is filled with 24 one-sided unique and fantasy detailed riding animals of art by artist Olya Goloveshkina. You can see a colored version of this pretty bird in our Facebook group here.
A gorgeous spiral bound coloring book with professional paper depicting the 12 Days of Christmas, scenes from a Children’s Nativity, Sugar Plum Fairy and Santa’s Workshop on artists paper.
This is a smaller format than most of the books on this list but just fabulous! Cats in all sorts of holiday and winter scenes, whimsical and fun. It’s printed on both sides with medium-thick paper, some with black backgrounds. I particularly liked the cat’s ice-fishing page.
The only gray-scale coloring book I’ve found with Christmas images and this one is just GORGEOUS! Highly detailed page by page retelling of the famous poem of the holiday season. If you have never colored in a gray-scale book they really are quite magical and you can find some suggestions and tutorials here. This is a Dover book so the paper won’t be spectacular but you can always copy the images to cardstock for gifts or to frame.
By the illustrator of the popular “Cats & Quilts” coloring book, “Santa’s Cats” is a Christmas coloring book that contains twenty-four timeless, unique illustrations of cats and kittens getting into trouble, helping Santa and his elves as they prepare for the big day, and cuddling up with Jolly Old St Nick after an exhausting day in the workshop at the North Pole.
Each picture is printed on one side of 60 lb pure white paper to minimize scoring and bleed-through and appears in two sizes: large and half-size (4″x6″), both suitable for framing when completed.
George’s book is filled with traditional Christmas holiday scenes and is secular in nature with things like Santa, Christmas Trees, Stockings by the Fire and Winter Nature scenes. Images are printed on one side of the page and are perforated. These 46 images are designed for experienced colorists.
The Magical Christmas – A Colouring Book for Adults Illustrator Lizzie Mary Cullen This book is very popular however I had a really hard time coloring in it as the illustrations are SO busy and detailed and force you to color pretty much every inch of the paper. Many of the pages have sections where you aren’t sure what it is you are coloring or where it stops and starts. I would recommend this only for very experienced colorists who don’t frustrate easily.
A Festive Christmas Coloring Wonderland of Snowmen, Ice Skates, and Quirky Critters on High-Quality Perforated Pages that Resist Bleed Through from various artists at Design Originals
The Gift or All Gifts of the World or the Night Voyage are all alternate names for Daria Song’s Christmas book.
The tabby cat you see in this image is throughout the book for you cat lovers that are also Daria Song fans. Her Christmas book follows the little girl on a new nighttime adventure when the conductor of her toy train comes to life and helps her distribute gifts across the world
This gorgeous Christmas book is available to Order from Amazon US – UK – Canada or Book Depository Worldwide.
Tatiana is known for her “Little Town” series and this Christmas coloring book has some of those adorable mouse house, little town type illustrations but it also has other images and the one that won me over was the adorable gnome colorings I saw a few times on Instagram. I contact the artist on Etsy and she answered me almost immediately that I could find that image in this her first Christmas book. Honestly, at this price point and for the ability to instantly download and color I’ve already got it printed and you’ll be seeing it posted on my social channels very soon. I think I also might shrink it down and make it into gift tags. I may be a little bit behind the times but Christmas gnomes are making me really happy this year.
Angela Porter’s work is really fun to color in. It has just enough detail to make it interesting but not so tiny that you get fatigued with a page. This is a Creative Haven book so images are printed on one side of the paper and are a bright white nice quality paper.
From the same illustrator that brought you Creative Cats, Marjorie has tons of detail for you to highlight or have blend into the background, the choice is yours.
There are quite a few Christmas Creative Haven & Dover Coloring Books that have been around for a while so we’ll be adding those titles as time permits.
Christmas Around the World -Joan O’Brien is the illustrator. This book is more elementary than some of the others but has some lovely traditional holiday images
The Fart Before Christmas – A brand new funny coloring book that would be great for school-age kids as well as adults. This new coloring book is quite clever and funny. If you have school-aged kiddos or grandkids you know that anything to do with farting is always massively hilarious.
Johanna Basford has several Christmas and Holiday images on her website that you can download for free and we expect her to do something fun and special again in 2016. Here is her gorgeous Christmas Star. Johanna knew she needed to get the word out about her work a few years ago and set up a fun twitter project where she tweeted a piece of an advent calendar each day on twitter. Luckily for you, it’s now all on this page where you can click on and print each image to color in at home. My plan is to print these on nice quality paper, color and use them to make handcrafted Christmas cards.
If you know of any others please contact me and let me know. If you are an illustrator with a holiday project for the 2019 or 2020 holidays please send me a copy to review so I can add it to my curated lists.
Drawing and Coloring in pictures of flowers have been happening for centuries so of course flower and garden coloring books are the most popular one. We have shared our favorites below.
Here’s another Swedish artist book that I’ve been eyeing for awhile it’s called Sagolikt or Fairy Tales in English. It looks glorious like my other two favorite illustrators from Sweden, Hanna Karlzon & Maria Trolle.
World of Flowers: A Coloring Book and Floral Adventure by Johanna Basford
Johanna’s latest coloring book, “World of Flowers” is sure to delight her fans! If you look through the reviews on Amazon you’ll see quite a few interior photos of some of the unique and interesting flower-filled designs Ms. Basford has created. I was a bit worried that this book would be too much of a copy of “Secret Garden” but if you know Johanna’s background you know that she possesses her gardening grandfather’s botanical books so she has so many other flowers to use for inspiration. Some US colorists have complained that the binding in this book is not as good as in past editions but most likely the publisher has fixed those problems. One idea is to order the UK edition of the book via Book Depository which has free shipping every day.
I really can’t say enough wonderful things about this gorgeous book from illustrator Eleri Fowler. I get many books to look at from the artists and publishers but was blown away with the quality of this beauty. It is indeed a joy to color in. The pages are excellent quality with pages that actually fold down completely flat to color those two-page spreads. The images are beautiful, original and very well put together and combines not only beautiful flowers but also inspirational sayings. I started with the title page and played with white Uniball gel pens for the first time for the dots and extra details on the flowers in my coloring here on Instagram.
Her second book looks just as gorgeous! Celebrate mom with color! Illustrator Eleri Fowler’s intricate, gorgeous illustrations that depict the joy and tenderness of a mother’s love are beautifully represented in this delicately rendered coloring book. From flowers to birds to hearts and more, these pages and pages of delicate pen-and-ink drawings are waiting to be brought to life through your artistry.
I received these two books from Nosy Crow Publishers illustrated by Rebecca Jones and was completely THRILLED! Finally, something I can really share with my friends and family from my new addiction. Each page is perforated and is nice quality card stock. The front pages of the book are printed two cards to a page front and back so you can color all sides of your note card, the back pages are for the envelope you color and fold. One side is the inside with pretty little intricate images you can color (or leave for your friend to do) you color and then fold those pages into envelopes using the instructions on the front cover and then in the very bac,k there is a package of stickers to seal the envelope. Address… Mail and thrill the recipients with the time you took to hand color their card. I’ve finished two so far and received rave reviews to actually get something in the snail mail (other than coloring books from Amazon) that was worth opening. Here is my quickie video to further explain what it looks like in the end.

I probably have more pictures colored in this book than any other. There’s just something really magical about Maria Trolle’s drawings and they are easy to figure out. The paper is SPECTACULAR! If you are familiar with Hanna Karlzon’s books, this paper is the same Swedish type including the bookbinding. I purchased the Swedish edition from the Pen store, but the same publisher that recreated Hanah’s books is also working with Maria Trolle so I’m sure they are going to be just fabulous. I promise you will want this one for your collection.

This is the Beginner’s Edition of the book that features darker grayscale images. This book is recommended for colorists who would like more assistance with shading. You will find that you have to add very little shading or none at all, yet the image will still have a lot of depth and vibrancy. An Advanced Edition, which contains the same 20 images, with lighter levels of grayscale that allow for more flexibility and color variety is also available separately.
