Minifigure Monday is a weekly celebration of LEGO® characters through art. This week, it is time to color. Coloring actually relaxes the amygdala. That is the part of your brain associated with fear. Consequently, coloring is a great form of stress and anxiety relief. To that end, I present Ultrakatty. Ironically, this is the LEGO® character most in need of
