The printable mandala coloring pages include 10 different designs, which range from super simple to a more advanced (almost like a mini easy mandala coloring book!) The free printable coloring pages are decidedly easy mandalas to draw. My goal for these printable mandala coloring pages for kids is that children have fun, be creative and walk away from this project with a sense of achievement.

As an adult, you may look at the printables and think they are too easy and boring. But remember children are still developing their motoric and cognitive skills. Complicated mandalas can be overwhelming for children and lead to stress and frustration – not at all what we want! It’s also important that coloring mandalas isn’t an obligation for children.

Read on to learn more about the benefits of mandalas and to download the blank mandala template printable!

Benefits of mandalas for children – Mandala art for kids

Colouring is very relaxing and calming. The word “mandala” comes from Sanskrit and means “perfect circle.” Therapeutic mandala coloring pages can help to promote reflection, inner harmony and balance. While colouring mandalas, your child concentrates on the pattern or lets her mind wander.

Here are the benefits of mandalas for children:

• learn new words, geometric forms and colours
• foster concentration and attention
• help to develop coordination and motoric skills
• promote patience and perseverance
• reduce stress and anxiety
• achieve emotional balance and harmony
• increase self-esteem and aesthetic sense

Printable mandala coloring pages for kids of different ages

I created mandalas with different age groups in mind. Here is what you need to know:

Coloring pages 1 to 6 are suitable for toddlers, preschool or kindergarten children. The designs are easy to understand and the colouring shapes are big – perfect when motoric skills are still developing.

Worksheets 7 to 10 are a little more advanced and intended for young school children (grades 1 to 4). The elements are smaller and the designs are more intricate. The mandalas are still simple and won’t overwhelm your child. Again, the goal is for children to have a fun time and enjoy themselves.
