Kids Mandala Coloring #16 - Free Coloring Page

At the centre of this mandala, a small eight-petalled flower surrounds a plain round core. A crown of narrow, pointed petals radiates around it, followed by a denser geometric band that weaves interlocking diamonds with small square crenellations. A double circular line closes this inner section before a wide outer crown of eight large lotus-style petals, alternating with small four-point star sparkles. The border itself is a clean plain circle, with no beading or scalloping.

The line stays even throughout, but its scale shifts a lot: the geometric band at the centre packs tiny diamonds and crenellations close together, while the large outer petals leave wide, easy areas to fill. This mandala coloring page suits a child who starts on the outer petals before tackling the fiddly centre with a fine marker. Plan on roughly an hour for the outer ring, double that for the whole centre.

A fine-tip marker works best in the diamond band, too narrow for a thick nib, while ordinary colored pencils cover the large border petals just fine — a good place to begin. Save patience for the crenellations at the centre, the most delicate part of the drawing. For this printable mandala, print at A4 or US letter on 160-200 gsm paper, sturdy enough to hold up under marker and pencil alike.
