Coloring is the #1 most underrated hobby, according to must adults. It’s me, I am most adults.
Seriously though, we spend so much time adulting and paying bills that coloring is such a fun way to relax at the end of the day! I love thinking of my inner child when choosing hobbies, and coloring feels so playful and whimsical. I also try to do a non-screentime activity before bed, and winding down while coloring and listening to an audiobook is so relaxing.
When buying a coloring book, consider if you prefer to color with markers, colored pencils or crayons. You might want to think about how much details the pictures have when choosing a coloring book to buy. Personally, I have ADHD and tend to get bored easily, so I prefer bigger designs instead of more intricately detailed illustrations. But this is completely up to you!
If you aren’t sure what you prefer – that’s okay too. Many of my coloring book recommendations are under $10 so it’s a pretty inexpensive activity to try, and you can always regift a coloring book if you aren’t a fan. I hope these coloring book ideas help you feel inspired.
This post is all about Amazon adult coloring books you will enjoy!

I love all things cottagecore, and the Modern Cottage coloring book is full of cute and cozy cottage style coloring pages! This would be the perfect adult coloring book to imagine you are sitting by the fire in a cute little cottage with woodland creatures outside your window.
I love the variety of designs on each page and how the illustrations aren’t too difficult or overly complicated. But each page still is full of whimsy and imagination!

4. Cat Coloring Book for Adults
Cats are ALREADY stress relieving so a coloring book about cats? Meow you’re talking! Meet the Stress Relief Cat Coloring Book with Calming and Adorable Designs for Adults.
The paw-some thing about this calming coloring book is that the designs fill the WHOLE page. Many coloring books have a lot of white space around the designs. I love how the illustrations in this coloring book extend to the edges of the page and feature cute cats and also lots of patterns to color in.

5. Adorable Town Coloring Book
Did you read the Borrowers growing up or love tiny things – who else remembers MiniBrands? If so, you will love The Adorable Town coloring book. Each page features a different unique and imaginative home or building. Think “The Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe” but with 10 times more whimsy!
Each setting is so detailed and really paints a picture of a different cute creature who could live or work there. Coloring in this book is like bringing your own town to life, and I can just imagine all these characters wandering through this teeny tiny town and chatting with each other.
6. Plant Coloring Book for Grown Ups

We all have that one friend whose house or apartment is full of gorgeous potted plants – maybe you are that plant loving friend! Then the Plant Parent Coloring Book by Jen Racine is for you. This coloring book is full of different houseplants, all in unique pots!
You might think coloring plants over and over could get boring but this book is far from it. I love the different designs of the pots and getting to learn about different plants with facts and helpful plant parent tips on each page. Also I can’t have any real houseplants because my cat will knock them over so this plant coloring book is my window into actually being a plant parent.
7. Magical Adventure Coloring Book
This coloring book is one you could spend a long time with because of the storyline which makes it very unique! Each page is very detailed. I love seeing the journey of the girl in the story unfold and how the paper planes are incorporated on different pages.
The illustrations are so beautiful I could honestly just look at them and not even need to color them, which makes this even more amazing that it’s a coloring book!
8. Cute & Groovy Easy Coloring Book
Coco Wyo coloring books are super popular and offer a bold & easy series of coloring books which is great if you love coloring with marker or want larger designs. I like easy coloring books like this because I find them relaxing to color in – sometimes crowded designs can stress me out! Most pages feature a single large image to color.
The Cute & Groovy coloring book by Coco Wyo is especially cute because it feels very nostalgic. Definitely a coloring book for your inner child especially if you were an 80s or 90s kid!
9. Knitted Creatures Coloring Book
A friend gave me this book for my birthday and I’m so happy to have it! I might not have picked it up on my own because I don’t knit or crochet but after coloring in it, I would recommend it to anyone who loves stuffed animals or being cozy.
It’s called “The Cutest of Cute Amigurumi Critters” – as I learned after getting this coloring book, amigurumi is knitted or crocheted stuffed toys.
This coloring book is more detailed than I would usually pick up, which is another reason I’m glad I was gifted it! The details are so fun to color in and all about the textures of the crocheted baby animals – knitted bows, cutesy buttons, and more. And every critter in this adult coloring book from Amazon feels like it has such a cute and adorable personality.
10. Kawaii Tarot Coloring Book
I love tarot and I especially love reinterpretations of the classic tarot symbols. This Kawaii Tarot adult coloring book is great, even if you are a beginner to tarot or want to learn more!
What better way to learn more about the different tarot cards there are than spending time coloring them in a coloring book? I love how this cutesy coloring book includes tidbits of information about different tarot cards too, so anyone can color and enjoy.
My sister has and enjoys the Kawaii Tarot deck, so it is cool to see the images in coloring book form. Lulu Mayo is the illustrator and author of both the tarot deck and coloring book. You can also try a sample coloring page of The Magician tarot card on the illustrator’s website!
11. Rainbow Coloring Book

The Encouraging Rainbow Coloring Book – everything about this one from the cover to the title just makes me smile. I love the simple bold designs and how each page has an encouraging message! I really love rainbows and bright colors and think we can all use reminders like this more often.
What types of coloring books do you usually like? I’d love to hear if you’ve tried any of these too. Feel free to leave a comment and share!
These are so fun!! Definitely going to have to get my hands on the Night Voyage one.
Right?! Yesssss I love how it tells a story – I used to be a teacher so I love picture books, and it feels like a really cool interactive picture book.
