Grab your markers! 5 free translation-themed adult coloring pages
The life of a translator is hectic. If we want to stay healthy, concentrated and on top of our projects, we need to have some moments of relaxation every now and then. Depending on our preferences they might include going for a walk, excercizing or practising some kind of sport. For those that don’t love that – or who want to combine their activities here are five adult coloring pages.
The short theory behind adult coloring pages
Coloring books for adults are a real hype in many countries nowadays and there’s a reason for that. The highly detailed coloring pages are filled with many boxes, balls and other ornaments that require concentration while coloring them. If you want to produce great results, you need to color carefully and concentrate on nothing else than your coloring page. When doing that the right way, you really enjoy it and the process also resembles something from the past – a childhood feeling from the time that drawing was fun.
Personally, I am not a real fan of adult coloring pages, although I like some great coloring books. The reason for coming up with these free adult coloring pages was to share some fun and excitement. I also started working on two of them but have not finished them yet.
Nevertheless, I found out that adult coloring pages work as a real stress-reliever, demanding all your concentration but distracting from work-related stress. And when you have them on your desk, they can even be addictive!

Hi Pieters, what a great advice! When I have spare time and I feel inspired I play with polymer clay, another fantastic no-stress and hugely creative activity. Knitting, stitching, tThey all work well, because they force you to keep focussed on an activity completely different from words. Also another great aspect is the result. You will discover what you have produced only at the end of the process.. Stimulating and intriguing…
