Studies have shown many health benefits of coloring.

These packs of Crayola markers were on sale at Target at the start of the school year for $1 per pack (regularly $3.99/each). I picked up 30 packs at the time. I was struggling looking for Adult Coloring Books because they are so expensive typically. Luckily I stumbled across these (and tons of others) at Marcs Grocery Stores for $1.99/each (regularly $12.99/each). I had to drive around to 5 stores, which wasn't too terrible seeing as how 2 were near my house and 3 were near my office. I gathered up 26 in total.

I have a paper store - it's very warehouse-ish .25 miles from my house (I practically live there when I'm working on a project) so I picked up some pretty blue envelopes to put these coloring books and markers into. I printed out a list of 10 benefits of coloring to put on the outside of each envelope so people have a better understanding why they are receiving these in their bags.

I have to mention that these coloring books are so perfect! They have pages about Love and pictures of Mermaids, and tropical patterns and whimsical positive quotes. They were a good grab.

Total price for this project:

Estimated at $30 for markers, $51.74 for coloring books, $2.60 for envelopes = Grand Total of $81.74 (pre tax)
