This resource provides over 30 black and white abstract images. They have been designed to allow colour to be added in a variety of ways. Some students might like to develop “realistic” pictures of actual objects or scenes by thinking carefully about which sections to apply colour to. Other students might want to use the images as a basis for pattern work, or simply apply colour in a random way.
Colour can be applied using pencil crayon, felt tip or even paint. If using paint make sure that the images are printed onto appropriately robust paper.
This resource is ideal for use as an extension activity towards the end of a main project.

Great fun at the end of term. Get kids colouring with these beautiful original designs. Also many children and adults suffer from stress and anxiety at times. An over busy brain makes it difficult to concentrate on tasks and the feelings associated with anxiety can cause distress and further anxiety. Recent research suggests that activities which focus the mind without being overly taxing can help break the cycle of worry and anxiety and can help calm the busy mind.
One such activity is colouring. This resource provides 40 original hand drawn kaleidoscopic images. The repetitive nature of the patterns is intentional, encouraging the individual to settle into a calming routine. Drawings range in complexity, making it a suitable resource for all age groups, including adults.
