The first adult coloring book, Secret Garden, created by Johanna Basford in Scotland, was sold in 2013. Secret Garden sold 12 million copies, was translated into 45 different languages, and would be the beginning of a new worldwide trend. Three years later, adult coloring books became so popular that they caused a global pencil shortage. Nowadays, coloring subscription boxes take the trend to the next level.

Adult coloring books are touted as being able to help reduce stress, improve mood, and lower depression. Many art therapists agree that through positive psychology, coloring books can, in fact, help improve one's mood and overall emotional state. However, it should be noted that coloring does not replace therapy.

Multiple studies have been conducted using coloring books as a form of therapy to see how it affects anxiety. Three different studies were published stating that there was a substantial improvement in anxiety, especially in state anxiety, though trait anxiety improved as well. 

With the many proven benefits of adult coloring books, some designers have created coloring books with the intent of increasing one’s mindfulness and aiding in mediation and relaxation. Additional advantages of adult coloring books include improving hand-eye coordination, focus, improved creativity, and motor function.

Due to the growing popularity of adult coloring books, several companies have started coloring book of the month clubs.

These subscriptions are an extremely convenient way to always have a variety of coloring books on hand. By signing up for a coloring book subscription you eliminate the need to go to the store or search online for the perfect coloring book.

Also, coloring book of the month clubs offer a variety of selections some of which specialize in art therapy. These subscription boxes are available in a variety of price ranges and in both digital and hardcopy form.

Coloring book monthly subscription boxes are a perfect gift for yourself or for a loved one in need of some stress-free time. You might also consider a book of the month club if you love reading or perhaps an art club or a craft club.

Coloring and Classics

Three books a dot to dot titled Nature Scenes, a coloring book titled Don't Give Up, and a novel The Spy House

Coloring and Classics was inspired by an unexpected health condition brought on by daily stress and no downtime. This unfortunate incident opened the eyes of the founders that things needed to change.

First, the founders attempted meditation and other forms of relaxation to reduce daily stress. However, when they found out that meditation was not their thing, they turned to a more structured option, adult coloring. Because of their newfound success in reducing stress through coloring, they figured they were not alone and started Coloring and Classics.

Today Coloring and Classics' goal is to bring the big three, as they refer to it, imagination, problem-solving, and creativity into others' lives to help them find time for themselves to relax and live in the now. 

Coloring and Classics offers two different subscription options: 

The Coloring and Classic Box:

  • Month-to-month for $16.99 
  • 3 months for $47.97 
  • 6 months for $90.00  
  • 12 months for $168 

The Coloring and Classics Premium Box has the same books as the Coloring and Classic Box but also includes a 12-ounce bag of hand-roasted premium coffee:

  • Month-to-month for $28.99 
  • 3 months for $84 
  • 6 months for $161.94 
  • 12 months for $312.00 

Included in your subscription box are one adult coloring book, one adult puzzle book, and a hardcover novel. There are seven genres to choose from for your monthly novel: Acclaimed fiction, acclaimed nonfiction, mystery, thriller, horror, romance, and fantasy.

Genres can be changed from month-to-month.

    Hi,
    The monthly coloring club link doesn’t seem to work. I’d like to suggest an alternative website to include instead. It’s called Color and Thrive, https://colorandthrive.com/. They have an online printable coloring book store and a monthly subscription. It’s reasonably priced and there’s a lot of variety available.

    WARNING: As of some point in 2019 or 2020 Monthly Coloring Club no longer exists. Will still take your money if you subscribe but will not send anything and will continue to charge your credit card (be sure to dispute the charges).
    DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. You have been warned. (This is not a joke, but Monthly Coloring club is)
