Such a cute, adorable book, filled with perfectly balanced, circular mandalas featuring adorable animals, plus this book also helps reinforce shape identification, and counting skill.These adorable, perfectly balanced, animal mandalas will bring out your childrenâs imagination, stimulate their senses, their creativity, and as they become engaged in the enjoyable activity of Coloring, it provides a calming effect and almost immediately starts reducing stress levels.I often have 2 to 6 grandchildren at my house and I have found that coloring is an activity that does calm them down, and by keeping Crayons, Colored Pencils, Water Color Pencils, Pastels, Gel Pens, paints and Markers on hand, the arts and craft table draws all of them to it, and they spend hours creating master pieces to take home to their parents.This is a perfect coloring book for both boys and girls from age 4 up to about 8.1. 30 adorable animal mandala illustrations printed on front and back of 15 pages, on heavy weight, bright white paper.2. Crayons, colored pencils and gel pens work on this paper, I tried Crayola markers and they bled through just a little so if you have markers check them first to make sure they donât bleed through.3. The Mandalas included in this book are: Kittens with Hearts, Elephants with Stars, Cows with Moons, Fish with circles, Dogs with Triangles, Horses with Rectangles, Ducks with Ovals, Pandas with Diamonds, Bears with squares, Turtles with Hexagons, Seals with circles, Pigs with Ovals, Lions with Diamonds, Monkeys with Octagons, Frogs with ovals, Tigers with triangles, Goats with rectangles, Rabbits with Triangles, Lizards with hearts, Squirrels with Moons, Mice with Circles, Hummingbirds with Triangles, Hippopotamuses with Rectangles, Giraffes with Hexagons, Sheep with Squares, Beavers with Squares, Camels with Stars, Manatees with Circles, Kangaroos with Diamonds, Penguins with Octagons,
Mandalas are known to have a calming effect on children. As they color the repetitive designs they learn to predict, make patterns, and how to draw various shapes and objects.As an art teacher, I use these for free time coloring and sometimes for just calming everyone down after a long day of testing or more active projects.Anyone can use an activity that is instantly successful and calms children down, right?
I bought this book for my son when he started asking to color in MY books! I think it is great for kids who want to branch out from some of they typical character and other simple coloring books for children. It's not as detailed as the adult mandala books, so it is great for kids who are still working on staying in the lines. My only complaint is that the pages are double-sided. My son likes to use markers, and since the paper is fairly thin they bleed through, making the second side unusable. But it will work well with colored pencils or crayons.
My kid loves coloring this book and this is one of the fun things we do as a family.I'm happy that she enjoys spending time playing with a book as well as with the multitude of screens in the house. She loves animals and she loves painting/coloring. So this book speaks to both of her interests and she enjoys it thoroughly. Excellent product
I bought this book of simple mandalas for myself as a way to relax after the kids are in bed. It's fun and easy to color and my slightly OCD self isn't too caught up in complex patterns to enjoy myself coloring them in. The only bummer is that when I color a picture on the reverse side of a page the colors bleed on to the facing page. No big deal as these aren't meant to hang in a gallery, but a little annoying as the color transfer ruins my palate.
Great coloring book for the younger crowd who are just getting into coloring with some detail. My 5 year old uses this book to color in as she wanted something similar to the adult coloring books me and my wife use. Has good detail but not to complicated that she can't actually color the pictures. I would recommend this coloring book for younger users just getting into the coloring books and wanting something a little more detailed than the kids coloring books you can buy at brick and mortar stores.
When I gave this to my niece for her birthday she said "It is just like the one's you do, but only for kids!" She absolutely loves it and the designs. Something a bit different from the normal coloring books of princesses that she has a lot of. She has enjoyed all of the animals, the elephants are her favorite. She is 4 and has enjoyed the challenge of this book, but it isn't above her abilities to frustrate her. Great purchase that I'll probably duplicate for a different niece who loves to color.
I bought this one and others, mandala for my granddaughter. She wanted ones like Grandma's adult ones with cool patterns. It was a great starter book, she's 7. She was happy with what she could do. It was complex enough she can get older and fill in more detail, she's happy with what they look like when she's done.
