Am I the only person who likes colouring in?

I was supposed to be printing pictures off for my mums creche, then I found a Bubblegum colouring page or 700 ;) I love doing it. I'm rubbish but I love it.

Does anyone else? Or am I truly still 4 years old inside? :p

    I like doddling still, I had this one lecture in the first year who would just hand out a photocopy of a chapter of a textbook and she would just seem to read it out to ours over the two hours if you where lucky you could get a copy of it as it passed up the rows and ecaspe from the backdoor.

    Me and my friends use to just sit there and doddle or play squares and hangman, plus write messages on our pads to each other was there was just three of use we could all see what the others had written, so she never noticed what we where doing.

    I've got a colouring book and a massive pack of pens sitting in my living room :D
    It's fun for about 5 minutes but then I get bored because I've got the attention span of a...thing that doesn't have an attention span... 0_o

    Did anyone try those water ones when they were little? Where you painted over the different parts with water and the colours were revealed?

    I had a funny one about a monster with tracing paper sections aswell.. not sure what that was all about.

    I remember the water ones! Ahh. I love colouring in.

    For some reason this thread has made me think of Fuzzy Felts. Best thing ever!

    It isn't no. But I LOVE those with the black felt on!

    Fuzzy felts - you had like a base of material stuck onto card, and then you had shapes of felt that stuck to the base. So you could make people and trees and houses and cars or whatever you wanted from the shapes of felt.

    It was wicked, even if my description is shite. :D

    ETA - this is what Wikipedia says...

    Fuzzy Felt is a popular toy for very young children created by Lois Allan in the UK in 1950. The toys consist of a flocked backing board onto which a number of felt shapes are placed to create different pictures. Felt pieces can be simple silhouettes or more detailed printed shapes. For a farmyard scene, for example, auxiliary pieces would typically be cows, sheep, chickens, horses, cats, dogs, a farmer, and a tractor. Other scenes might include hospital, pets, vehicles. Fuzzy felt is for children over the age of 3 years as the pieces may present a choking hazard.

    Oh you reminded me with the felt things... this was (hopefully) only a girl thing, but who remembers paper dolls.
    The paper dolls (oh who would have guessed) then you had the paper clothes and you put them on the dolls with little tabs and stuff.

    Even better - who dares me to try and sell one of my 'modern artworks'? ;)

    Fuzzy felts were amazing, I used to play for hours with them - and then my nan found more at a car boot, I had a fuzzy felt universe :)

    I was never interested in colouring pictures, too much work.
    In Mario Paint however it was easy; you just chose the colour and clicked in the region you wanted it in. I enjoyed that!
