A tangle of curving lines loops across this art therapy mental health coloring page and crosses itself again and again, leaving dozens of closed shapes to fill. Hidden in the tangle are a flower with five petals and two leaves, a heart, a small star, a crescent moon, a house with a four-pane window, a tree, a larger star and two spirals. It is a medium-level page for ages 8 and up, teens and adults, with bold, smooth outlines.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "one long looping scribble line drawn across the whole page that crosses over itself many times, making dozens of closed shapes of different sizes to color in, an art therapy scribble design with smooth black outlines, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page". The tangle and the pictures hidden in it came from that one idea.

How to use it

A school counselor or a support group leader can hand out the page at the start of a session, and each person colors the shapes one at a time while looking for the hidden pictures. A teacher can use it for a calm pause after recess, with one color for each hidden picture. Adults can color a few shapes each evening. To hide your own pictures in a scribble, create a scribble coloring page from a short description.
