Interactive Coloring Books

Art Together Workshop

What makes these interactive coloring books special is that besides the easy-to-master, handrawn images to color, they contain original poetry and personal short stories and fun facts, which nurture human connections at a heart level. Don't know what to say to someone? Pick up one of these books and read it aloud! You won't forget the moments you experience together.

This fun & interactive art workshop helps seniors improve their memories, strengthen manual dexterity and feel a greater sense of community. It is designed specifically for senior adults and delivered with patience and compassion. The journey to get to the final product will amaze, and so will the final products.

a little quality time, a little patience, a lot of happy

No one thought Betty** could hold a pencil or even care enough to want to draw. I greeted her with my eyes looking into hers, in a way that felt like only she and I existed in the world and this world slowed down just for us. I lifted her hand gently, and patiently waited until the colored pencil was in her hand and with my hand softly over hers we started coloring. Within a matter of a few strokes, I was able to let go and she was coloring and was able to focus on the task at hand! It didn't matter what color it was or whether or not it was going to look like a masterpiece, what mattered is that for that time, there were wonderful things happening in her mind, body and soul. Mine too!

** I will always protect the privacy of the wonderful people I work with and never use their real names.
