About mandala coloring challenges
Mandalas are made for relaxing coloring: everything grows from the center in rings, so it's easy to settle into a rhythm. These mandala coloring challenges give you a fresh starting point for any mandala page, from a large print mandala coloring book with thick outlines to a mini travel-size book or a printable mandala coloring page. Each one comes with a color palette or a gentle rule, like working from the center outward, building a gradient ring by ring, or using shades of one color.
They suit colored pencils, markers, gel pens or crayons. Easy challenges are perfect for beginners, seniors and quick, calming sessions, and Hard ones invite you to try color combinations you'd never pick on your own. If you color mandalas for stress relief or mindfulness, start with an Easy challenge on a bold, simple design.
