About this coloring page

This pond-inspired mandala centers on a lotus seed pod surrounded by pointed, layered petals and a dotted ring. Lily pads form the next band, while dragonflies sit inside rounded outer panels separated by cattails and long, narrow leaves. Partial floral motifs fill the four corners within a rectangular border.

The fine dragonfly wings, repeated curved bands and nested petal outlines give adults plenty of detail to work through. Try green lily pads, pink lotus petals and blue outer bands for a coordinated pond palette. Sharpened colored pencils work well for the tiny wing sections and narrow borders; use lighter shading in the larger petals to contrast with the smaller details.
