Mindfulness and connection are important for everyone. Connecting in an intentional way is even more important for children and the adults who love them. I’m a fan of resources that encourage both mindfulness and connection, and the Shapeshift Coloring Book is one of them. The Kickstarter campaign for Shapeshift started today, and there are some great early-bird specials!Disclosure: This post contains some affiliate links (at no cost to you). I was given 4 Shapeshift coloring pages to do this review. All opinions are honest and my own.

What is Shapeshift?

Shapeshift is a unique coloring book because one side of the coloring page is detailed for the adult. The other side is designed for a child to do together with the adult.

It also has quotes on the back of each picture … one for the adult and one for the child. If you follow Bits of Positivity, you know how much I love quotes. It’s obvious from all my best quotes posts and quotation/word art freebies. What better way for children to fall in love with the inspiration of quotes than to read and discuss them together with a parent or other special adult?

How We Used Shapeshift

I was taking the photos and watching my other grandbaby, so my daughter, Christina (with her 3-month-old son, Caleb), and my 4½-year-old granddaughter (Christina’s niece), Zoey, tested out one of the coloring pages.

Coloring can be a wonderful mindfulness activity, and it’s much more enjoyable for the adult with the detailed drawings in the adult half of the page. The child doesn’t get frustrated with the simpler design on the child’s half. So both adult and child have an activity that encourages concentration and being in the present.

The activity is one that naturally encourages connection between child and adult (and baby in this instance)!

This would be a great activity for a younger and older sibling as well!
