You can feel summer in the air: long days, plenty of light, and hours just begging to be filled with color. To match that energy we put together this collection of summer mandala coloring pages, full of suns, watermelons, dolphins, and turtles spinning in circles around the center.

The nice thing about mandalas is that they invite you to slow down. You color one shape at a time and, almost without noticing, you relax. Use the materials you like best and try mixing techniques: it is the best way to have fun and grow as an artist at the same time.

When your drawing is done, do not keep it to yourself. Here at Coloring Together we have a gallery where we show off the best work people send us, so go ahead and share your summer colors for everyone to see.

Why color summer mandalas?

The word mandala comes from Sanskrit and means circle. They are drawings in which the shapes repeat in a neat way around a center, which is why they look so pretty and balanced. When we add summer motifs like suns, seashells and palm trees, they become a party of color.

Coloring mandalas is one of the most relaxing activities there is. While you choose the colors and fill in each part, your mind calms down and you focus only on the drawing. That is why kids and grown-ups alike love coloring mandalas.

We also added lots of fun facts about summer that you may not have known. So you learn new things while doing a calm and creative activity. Let's get to it!

Learn while coloring Summer mandalas

  1. The word mandala comes from Sanskrit, a very old language from India, and means circle. That is why almost all mandalas are round, with shapes that repeat around the center.
  2. Summer is the warmest season of the year. It arrives when the part of the Earth where you live tilts toward the Sun and gets its rays more directly.
  3. The summer solstice is the day with the most hours of daylight in the whole year. In the north it happens around June 21, and in the south around December 21.
  4. The Sun is actually a giant star made of gas. It is so big that more than a million planets like Earth would fit inside it.
  5. Watermelon is one of the most typical summer fruits and is made of more than 90% water. That is why it is so refreshing when it is hot!
  6. Starfish can regrow an arm if they lose one. Even though they are called stars, they are not fish, but relatives of sea urchins.
  7. Dolphins sleep with one half of the brain awake. That way they can keep coming up to the surface to breathe even while they rest.
  8. Sea turtles hatch in the beach sand and quickly run toward the sea. Many years later, they come back to the very same beach where they were born.
  9. Coral reefs look like rocks, but they are alive. They are home to thousands of colorful fish and form some of the most beautiful places in the sea.
  10. To build a good sandcastle you need damp sand. The water acts like natural glue that holds the grains together so they do not fall apart.
  11. Coloring mandalas helps you relax and focus. That is why many people use them to calm down when they are nervous or want to rest their mind.
