Choose a Pattern and a Color Plan
Look at the spaces within a design before choosing your page. Larger spaces leave room for broad strokes, while smaller areas invite more careful coloring. Choose according to the kind of activity you want today, rather than trying to finish the most detailed page.
For a simple color plan, set out three pencils or crayons. Repeat those colors in matching parts of the mandala, or change the order as you move around it. You can also begin in the middle and choose a new color whenever you reach another part of the pattern.
Prepare Your Mandala Page for Printing
Check the print preview before printing on US Letter or A4 paper. Select the paper size loaded in your printer and inspect the page edges. If part of the design falls outside the printable area, try a fit-to-page setting and check the preview again.
- Choose colored pencils when you want control in narrow spaces.
- Use crayons for filling broader areas with color.
- If using markers, test them on spare paper and place a protective sheet underneath.
Try a Mandala Color Experiment
Before coloring, make a small row of color swatches on scrap paper. Arrange them in the order you want to use around the mandala. As you work, notice how changing the neighboring color changes the way each section looks. Leave some spaces white if you want those areas to stand apart.
Keep finished pages together in a folder, with a note on the back recording your color choices. Return to the collection card above when you are ready to choose a mandala and put your color plan into practice.
