National Coloring Book Day 2022
 |
The veterans in long term care at the local Dorn VA hospital receive an occasional care package from me. I provide them with plastic cutlery sets by the case and playing cards by the dozen, activity books like sudoku, crosswords, word search by the stack — and of course coloring books with colored pencils, markers, and what have you because I think it's important to contribute to making the life of the infirm veteran better if I can.
National Coloring Book Day encourages us to return to the days of our youth and indulge those artistic notions available between the pages of a coloring book.
The first coloring book was released in the late 1800’s by the McLoughlin Brothers when they first published "The Little Folks Painting Book".
They produced books of this sort right up until the 1920s, when they merged with the Milton Bradley Company.
National Coloring Book Day encourages the recognition that coloring books have imparted to humanity over the years with the joy they bring to people regardless of age.
All you have to do is like to color. A lot of people I know do.
Happy National Coloring Book Day to you if you enjoy indulging artistic endeavors.
