About the Mandala Coloring Pages for Kids
Mandalas are round designs that repeat the same shapes all the way around the center, which makes them relaxing to color and a natural way to see symmetry. The Flower, Sunshine and Big Petal Mandalas and the Rainbow Rings are Simple, with large spaces for younger students. The Heart, Star, Leafy and Butterfly Mandalas, the Snowflake Pattern and the Kaleidoscope Pattern are Detailed, with rings of small shapes for grades 2 and up. Because every ring repeats, they make good color-by-number pages too: the numbers show the pattern as students fill it in.
Ways to use mandala coloring pages
Calm-down time
Keep a stack of mandalas in a calm-down corner. Repeating a color around the circle is a quiet, focusing task.
Rotational symmetry
Ask students how many times each shape repeats around the center, then color each ring in one color to see it.
Pattern practice
Have younger students color the petals in an AB pattern, such as red, yellow, red, yellow, all the way around.
After testing
Print a Detailed mandala with Thin lines for older students to color quietly after a test.
