Mandala Categories

Forty-two themes, from the sparsest to the densest. If you are unsure where to start, begin with the level: it decides whether a page takes twenty minutes or three evenings. The theme comes second, according to the mood.

By level and age

The first useful sort: line density and the size of the areas to fill.

Holidays and seasons

To print at the right time of year, for the classroom or the kitchen table.

Animals and creatures

A recognisable figure at the centre, ringed by abstract patterns.

Nature and cosmos

Flowers, skies and landscapes, usually the most generous in large areas.

Styles and traditions

Precise vocabularies of form, from geometric to traditional motifs.

Meditation and calm

Made for the long sitting, where the doing matters more than the result.

A format of its own

Reverse colouring: you draw the lines onto a background that is already coloured.

How to choose a printable mandala

The criterion that matters is not the theme but the density of the linework. An easy mandala leaves broad areas you can fill with a marker without a steady hand; a difficult one encloses dozens of zones a few millimetres across, where only a sharp pencil will do. Between the two, most of our pages take a good hour.

  • For a child of four to seven: easy or children's mandalas, where every shape stays larger than a coin.
  • For a short sitting: geometric themes and stars, whose symmetry colours quickly as you work around the centre.
  • For a long evening: difficult, zen or anti-stress mandalas, made to be settled into.

Paper and format

Every mandala here prints at A4. Paper weight matters more than the printer: from 160 gsm alcohol markers stop bleeding through, and at 200 gsm the sheet stays flat once coloured. Ordinary 80 gsm paper is fine for pencils, not for markers.

Frequently asked

Are the coloring pages free?

Yes. The whole catalogue is free to browse and print, with no account and no sign-up.

Can I use them in a classroom?

Yes, for teaching and family use, including multiple copies.

Which mandala should a beginner start with?

An easy floral one: the petals give clear landmarks and the result reads well even with a small palette.

What is reverse colouring?

The usual principle turned around: the background is already coloured and you draw the lines on top. A family of its own, worth trying if classic colouring has begun to pall.
