Animal Mandala Coloring Pages

Roberto Ninez — Mon, 18 Aug 2014 19:39:48 +0000

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!

Coloring Animal Mandalas Book Preview!

Here’s the official book description:

From the Sanskrit word for “circle,” mandalas have been used for meditation and healing for thousands of years. Coloring Animal Mandalas adds the beauty of the animal kingdom—including butterflies, tigers, swans, snakes, lions, and even dragons—into these intricate designs for page after page of coloring book bliss. With roots in Hinduism and Buddhism, mandalas are spiritual symbols that represent the universe. Coloring these hypnotically beautiful, mystical shapes is a meditative and enjoyable way to relax. A fun way to achieve a state of mindfulness, Coloring Animal Mandalas adds fosters creativity, reduces stress, and allows you to embrace your inner child by focusing on the simple but engaging task of coloring in the detailed designs.

The book is also printed on one sided pages, so you can use any kind of markers or Sharpies and not worry about bleeding through to the other side.

Fall Coloring Pages: Autumn Animals

Roberto Ninez — Sun, 26 Aug 2012 22:28:02 +0000

As much as I love summer, I am always happy when fall comes. This is my most creative and ‘domestic’ time of year, when I break out the knitting needles, sewing machine, paints and papers and let loose! This year I’m kicking off fall with a new embroidery sewing machine – I’ll be lucky if I get *any* blogging done with this new toy around!

Fall is also exciting because November will mark our first full year online! Digging back into the archives, you’ll love these turkey coloring pages and this printable turkey mask!

Summer Coloring Pages: Animals at the Beach

Roberto Ninez — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 11:25:37 +0000

Summer is my favorite time of the year, so I work extra hard during the week to make sure I get Fridays off in the warm weather to play with my kids! Going to the beach is one of their favorite things to do, although most of them can’t handle that much sun and they burn to a crisp. My youngest daughter especially loves these summer beach coloring pages. Dolphins are a big hit around here, plus she’s a stuffed animal freak – so the sunbathing teddy bears get printed and colored more than once!
