Mindful Colouring
Mindful colouring asks us to focus on and bring our awareness to the present moment. Letting go of any thoughts about tomorrow or yesterday, or what we are going to do when we finish. Mindful colouring can improve our overall sense of well-being, allowing us to feel more relaxed by paying attention to the present moment. Mindfulness can be an important tool during brain injury recovery that helps to improve our mental health, mood, and memory.
The colouring pages provided on this website is provided by us in good faith, hand-drawn, and developed by the artists described below.

Meet Erin G.
Aaniin (Hello!), my name is Erin Gustafson and I am an Anishinaabe visual artist and musician from Fort Frances, ON with cultural ties and registered to Couchiching FN. Art has always been a big part of my life and is often related to the beautiful landscape found in Northwestern Ontario. I frequently experimented with different forms of artistic expression throughout my life, including sketching, acrylic and watercolour painting, embroidery, beadwork, sewing, resin art and other mediums. While I thoroughly enjoy bringing my own artistic visions to life, I equally value the perspective that other people bring to my art. My ideas about art are founded on the individual experience of the viewer or participant and the perspective they bring to the piece; every individual will see or internalize art in a different way, allowing it to bring on a meaning that could never come to be from the perspective of the artist alone. This is especially true when it comes to colouring pages!

Erin’s belief is that creating art is a means of self-expression and can be spiritually healing if approached mindfully. While the end-result can be very satisfying, the work that you do in your art can also be applied to your own self; creating in any capacity teaches you patience, balance, observation, and often causes you to stop and think about each part relating to the whole. These concepts can often be transferred to the own work we do with ourselves in our healing journey, whatever capacity that may be.
You are encouraged to make the drawings your own in whatever way you can. Feel free to add lines, textures, designs or fill it in as simply as you wish. You’re encouraged to send your creations my way!
Meet Maya S.
As of 2026, Maya Stone is a student in her third year at the University of Guelph in the Creative Arts, Health, and Wellness program. The University of Guelph describes the program as “the first undergraduate program of its kind in Canada, where students explore the artistic, psychological, and therapeutic components of the creative arts and their connections to healthcare and human wellness”.
For the 2026 Summer season, Maya joined the Keep Your Head Up Team where she was able to apply her education to practical experience and created mindful colouring pages on behalf of the foundation, that highlighted activities people with a brain injury can try and partake in during the four seasons.
Spring can be a gentle nudge to your brain, reminding it that growth is possible after adversity. All of the symbols in this colouring page not only remind you to look for the little things in life, like butterflies, blooming flowers, shiny raindrops, but also reminding you of simple ways to cope while healing from a concussion. Colour in the blossoms and let your mind wander through a garden of small, hopeful steps.
Summer isn’t just a season—it’s a burst of energy for your brain, serving as a reminder that joy can return even after foggy days. All of the symbols in this colouring page not only celebrate the little joys in life, like popsicles, sailboats, and seashells, but also act as gentle prompts to recharge and reconnect with yourself. Colour in the sunshine and relish in these refreshing moments.
Fall is a warm hug for your brain, reminding it that cozy routines can bring comfort even after the chaos. All of the symbols in this colouring page not only highlight the little comforts in life, like scarves, teapots, and puzzle pieces, but also serve as quiet reminders to slow down and piece things back together. Colour in the changing leaves and let your mind settle into a rhythm of small, steady steps.
Winter is for reminding us that rest is just as important as growth. All of the symbols in this colouring page bring attention to the little moments of peace, like snowflakes, sleeping cats, and steaming cups, while also acting as gentle cues to pause and listen to your needs. Colour and let your healing unfold.
