Animal Mandala Coloring Pages

A mandala is a circular picture, diagram or artwork that originated in Hindusim and Buddhism. Mandalas are created and decorated as a way to focus attention and center yourself. Today they are popular with both children and adults, and are used for meditation and art therapy – and fun!

I enjoyed making these mandalas so much I am going to create a whole book of them.

I DID create a whole book of them!!! SEE BELOW!!!!

I hope you enjoy coloring them just as much as I did drawing them!

So, FIVE years after first drawing these animal mandalas, a wonderful indie publisher Ulysses Press has decided they liked my work enough to put together a REAL coloring book of my animal mandala coloring pages! It wasn’t supposed to be released until September 2014, but it came back from the printer early and now it is in stock on Amazon! I don’t even have a copy of it yet, but some of my friends who pre-ordered the book do – haha!
