What are affirmation coloring pages?
Affirmation coloring pages are coloring sheets that pair uplifting phrases with decorative lettering, patterns, or illustrations. The phrase might be bold and central, like 'I am enough,' or woven through a floral border. The goal is twofold: the words encourage a positive mindset, and the coloring process encourages mindfulness and stress relief.

- Anyone looking for a simple, calming activity.
