About the Dreamy Sun Mandala

The Dreamy Sun Mandala is a 10-fold sun mandala: every motif repeats 10 times around the center. It is built from 4 rings of dots, spikes and teardrops, from a small flower in the middle to the wide outer border.

This is an easy mandala with fairly large spaces – a good start for kids, beginners and anyone who wants a quick, calm page. Most people finish it in 20 to 40 minutes with crayons, markers or colored pencils.

How to Color This Mandala

Start in the center and work outwards ring by ring, so your hand doesn't smudge finished parts. Choose 3 to 5 colors and repeat them, so the mandala looks balanced.

• Dots: dots are perfect for a pop of accent color, like gold or a bright contrast.
• Spikes: pointed shapes look great with a gradient – dark at the base, light at the point.
• Teardrops: a tiny white spot left uncolored makes them look like shiny drops.

Color Ideas

• Warm sunny colors bring out the rays: yellow, gold and orange from the center out, with a touch of red on the tips.
• Jewel tones: emerald, sapphire, amethyst and ruby.
• Rainbow: one color per ring, in rainbow order from the center.

Did You Know?

Ten-fold symmetry is less common, which gives this mandala a slightly unusual, star-like rhythm.
