Leaf Mandala Coloring Page

Coloring a Leaf Mandala printable is a peaceful and creative way to explore nature inspired patterns and symmetry. I love how the repeating leaf shapes invite kids to choose colors and think about how leaves look in a garden or park. You can talk about seasonal color changes as you pick greens for summer, golds for autumn, and pale tones for spring. In the classroom, try a coloring center where children each color a section and then assemble a bulletin board display that looks like a giant garden. At home, it makes a calm afternoon project; pair it with a nature walk to collect color ideas and make a little craft journal. For a fun extension, have children write a short story about the garden the mandala comes from, or challenge friends to create matching borders. This printable is free and easy to photocopy for group work, and the leaf details are perfect for practicing careful coloring and exploring pattern and balance.
