Enjoy adult colouring?
Have you or your WI tried adult colouring? Perhaps you’ve taken it up as a regular hobby?
Please could any members or WIs who have tried, or currently do, adult colouring get in touch with Hattie Parish from WI Life ath.parish@nfwi.org.uk. She’d like to hear about your experiences – whether or not you enjoy it, what you get out of it, why you do it, etc., for a feature on the new craze.
Thanks!
Feel free to share this any way you like – on social media for example, or in your newsletters – as we’d love the spread the message as widely as possible.
Many thanks,
