In our busy, screen-filled lives, it’s more important than ever to take time out for yourself—time to unwind, refocus and create. That’s where paint by numbers kits come in. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or haven’t picked up a paintbrush since school, these kits are a joyful and accessible way to tap into creativity and mindfulness. Here’s why we love them at Happily (and think you will too!).
1. Stress Relief, One Brushstroke at a Time
There’s something soothing about filling in colours, section by section. Paint by numbers encourages you to slow down and focus on the present moment—much like meditation. As your painting comes to life, you’ll likely feel calmer and more centred, with your mind getting a well-deserved break from stress and overthinking.
2. No Experience Needed
You don’t need to be an artist to enjoy the creative process. Each kit includes everything you need: numbered canvas, matching paints, and brushes. Just follow the numbers and watch your artwork take shape. It’s a confidence boost, especially for those who’ve been told they’re “not creative”—spoiler: everyone is!
3. A Boost of Accomplishment
There’s something incredibly satisfying about completing a painting, especially one you’ve done entirely yourself. That sense of achievement can boost self-esteem and remind you what you're capable of, even in small everyday moments.
4. Screen-Free Mindfulness
Taking a break from phones and devices is vital for our mental health. Paint by numbers offers a relaxing, analogue activity that helps you reconnect with your hands, your senses, and your surroundings. Pop on a playlist or a podcast, light a candle, and paint your way to peace.
5. A Creative Gift or Decor Piece
Once you’ve finished your painting, you have something beautiful to show for it—frame it for your wall or gift it to someone special. It’s art you can be proud of, and a memory of the mindful moments that brought it to life.
