Lovedtodeath Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I have a whole shelf full that my kids NEVER use, but I keep thinking that they will or should. They are preschool and 4th/5th grade. WWYD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Keep a few and color in them yourself. I've found coloring to be an amazing stress reliever. I bought my own set of Crayola 64 :001_smile:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whereneverever Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Donate them to doctor's offices, car dealerships or any other place with a waiting room. Children's hospitals usually love them, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupOCoffee Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Keep a few and color in them yourself. I've found coloring to be an amazing stress reliever. I bought my own set of Crayola 64 :001_smile:. :iagree: I have always loved to color! In my area, for some reason however, it's very hard to find nice coloring books, or books that just have coloring, not a bunch of other stuff. I wonder if you started coloring in them, if the kids would then get an interest. Now you've got me having a craving for coloring....

cajunrose Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 My dd has always loved coloring books. We were up to like 40 at one time. We went through them and now are down to 3 at a time...we only get the style she likes. It works great for us!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 If they're completely unused, I'd donate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakereese Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Keep a few and donate any that are unused. I donate them to our children's librarian, they always have a stack of them out with crayons in the children's room. Sometimes my kids go to the library and color in what used to be their coloring books. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raceNzanesmom Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I agree with keep a few and donate the rest. However, we love coloring here. My day care boy is coloring a rooster as I type. :D We keep them where they're easily accessible, have lots of crayons, and now my 8 y/o and I have moved onto good colored pencils. My ds and I love to color mandalas. http://www.hellokids.com/r_262/coloring/mandalas-gallery-coloring-pages/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Some kids just don't color much. Mine were more inclined to draw. Keep a couple and get rid of the rest. I kept so much stuff for maybe and really it was crazy of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchel210 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 my local softball team was collecting coloring books...plus other books for the local kids hospital...Maybe you should contact the kids hospitals and see if you can donate directly. It would be a great way to have your books recycled. I am planning on donating all of mine. I have a ton. I have spent lots of days thankful to have a book to read or color when we visit these hospitals. :) Maybe you can have the kids donate them. Makes you feel good inside. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippen Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 At Christmas my mom donated coloring books among other things to a group home of cognitively impaired adults. Most were wards of the state and had very little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
