Mandala Art Worksheet: Create a Beautiful Design!

How to use this worksheet

Look at the mandala design together and point out how the pattern repeats around the center. Give your child crayons or colored pencils and let them choose colors freely, encouraging them to notice the repeating sections as they go. They can follow the example shown on the page for a symmetrical look, or create their own unique color pattern instead. Work section by section around the design until the whole mandala is filled in.

Materials needed

• Pencil
• Crayons
• Colored Pencils

Extension activities
