Kids Mandala Coloring #24 - Free Coloring Page

At the center of this mandala, a small circle sits inside two tight rows of rounded, scalloped petals forming a dense rosette. Around it, a ring of eight large pointed petals opens up, each crossed by fine veins fanning from its base. Further out, eight smooth pointed leaves alternate with eight narrower leaves covered in diagonal hatching, and the whole design closes inside a thick black circle with no beads or notches.

This printable mandala mixes very different zones: the central rosette calls for a fine line to respect its tightly packed petals, while the outer leaves give large, open areas that fill in quickly. That contrast suits a child who wants to move fast across the big leaves as much as an adult who enjoys refining the center's small shapes; plan on 45 minutes to an hour for the whole page.

Start with the eight striped leaves, since their diagonal hatching is easier to follow before neighboring pencil strokes crowd the page; save a fine liner or a sharpened colored pencil for the central rosette, the most delicate part of the drawing. For printing, this mandala coloring page holds up best on thick A4 or letter paper (at least 160 gsm), which keeps markers from bleeding through.
