Anxiety reduction through focus. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions.

Fine motor and color skills. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7. The simpler hippie designs build careful coloring, while the detailed ones develop an eye for color and pattern.

Exploring color combinations. Hippie art uses bright, contrasting colors, so these pages are a great place to practice mixing bold colors, blending rainbows, and creating cheerful, eye-catching designs.

How to Color Hippie Pages Well

• Go bright and bold: Hippie art loves vivid color. Reach for bright shades like Crayola “Hot Magenta,” “Laser Lemon,” and “Electric Lime” for an authentic retro feel.
• Rainbow blends: Try fading one color into another across a design, like a rainbow, which is a classic hippie-style effect.
• Fill the patterns: Color each small section of a pattern in a different bright color to make the busy designs pop.
• Peace signs and flowers: Decorate peace signs with flowers and stripes in many colors, just like the classic style.
• Warm retro tones: For a vintage 1970s look, try warm oranges, browns, and golds together for a true retro feel.
• Make it your own: There is no wrong way to color hippie art, so experiment with your own bright colors and patterns.
