This is a great item for adult coloring book fans! There is now a quality 2016 adult coloring calendar, the Color Your Year Calendar. This wall calendar has unique pages for each month with additional nice touches. I has been getting good Amazon reviews (click the previous link to read them).
The designs are intricate enough to be interesting, yet not so crazy detailed so as to become tedious. Still, the pages are good sized (12×12 inches), so it will take a while to do each month. Paper quality is quite good. I can see through them when they are held to the light, but a hard pressed gel pen test on the corner of a page came out just fine, with no bleeding of the ink to the backside of the page. Regardless, I plan to do mine primarily in colored pencil (I use Polychromos and Prismacolors).
Each Month includes an additional coloring pattern on the calendar days as well. I love the koi fish in January, and there is a Chameleon in June that I am quite excited about! Here is a close up look at one of the overall designs in terms of detail. The dragonfly page, which is June, is one of my favorites.
Here is a look at the back of the calendar, which shows the designs for each month of the year. This is going to be a fun one to color. I think I’ll do each one about a month in advance.
The monthly designs are as follows:
January – Koi in a lily pond
February – Heart designs
March – Easter Bunnies and eggs
April – Spring Flowers
May – Roses and Birds
June – Dragonflies
July – Ice cream and treats
August – Sand dollars and sea shells
September – Parrots with tropical flowers
October – Seascape with whales, dolphins, octopus, divers, and waves
November – Pumpkins and gourds
December – Snowflakes
You can get the coloring calendar here at amazon. It would also be a great gift, especially if paired with a set of colored pencils.

I love this! I need to pick up a few colouring books and some pencils. I used to love colouring as a child and later with my son. I think I’d enjoy it now, as a way to just kick back and do something creative.
How pretty and what fun!
I haven’t done the adult coloring thing yet… mostly because I know I’m going to love it and I will spend ALL my time doing it lol
I love this! I’m so into this adult coloring thing but I haven’t bought anything thus far because there’s already not enough time in a day 🙁
So pretty, did you color the cover yourself?
If I had more time I’d do this. I think it’s such a nice pastime and the end results are beautiful.
I’m with Marcia. If I have extra time, I would dive into this adult coloring saga
I’m actually going to buy this for my mom. She loves adult coloring books.
One of my bff’s LOVES coloring books like this!
I would kill for December’s page. I’m all about the snowflakes. If you feel like skipping December this year….just sayin’ lol
It is perfect as a gift! I might give it to a few people myself!
I didn’t do the cover, it came like that. I’m currently learning to shade in the way shown on it.
I love colouring books, but I haven’t actually sprung for an adult colouring book yet – I usually steal my niece’s colouring books, dig into the pages she won’t do, and pretend to others that she did them.
What a great idea! I just picked up a coloring book, but I’m going to grab the calendar too. Thanks for sharing!
How interesting! I don’t think I touched a coloring book since I was 10, but it’s nice to see there are versions for adults.
I MUST HAVE THIS. I have a collection of adult coloring books that I use when I am stressed or need to relax and keep a set in my car when I’m waiting for my sons in the parking lot at their school. It keeps me sane and I know I would enjoy this.
I love that adult coloring is in. I definitely want to pick this up, I find coloring relaxing.
