When it is cold outside, there is nothing better than staying in, all cozy, with a good set of colors within reach. For those days we prepared these winter mandala coloring pages, with snowflakes, snowmen, reindeer, and polar bears repeating around the center.

Coloring a mandala is a very calm way to spend time: you pick a color, fill in a shape, and little by little the drawing comes to life. Feel free to try different materials and techniques, because each one gives your work a different feel.

And once your mandala is ready, share it with us. Here at Coloring Together we have a gallery where we gather the loveliest drawings people send, and yours would look great in it.

Why color winter 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 winter motifs like snowflakes, snowmen and animals of the cold, they turn into a postcard full of magic.

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, especially on cold days when it feels so cozy to stay inside.

We also added lots of fun facts about winter 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 Winter 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. Winter is the coldest season of the year. It arrives when the part of the Earth where you live tilts a little away from the Sun and gets its rays more from the side.
  3. The winter solstice is the day with the fewest hours of daylight in the whole year. In the north it happens around December 21, and in the south around June 21.
  4. Snow looks white even though ice is see-through. That happens because its tiny crystals reflect all the light of the Sun in many directions.
  5. It is said that no two snowflakes are exactly alike. Each one always has six arms, because water molecules join in groups of six when they freeze.
  6. Many animals hibernate in winter, like some bears. They slow their body way down and barely move to save energy until the warm weather returns.
  7. Some animals change color in winter. The arctic fox and the hare turn white so they can blend into the snow and not be seen.
  8. The biggest snowflake ever recorded was about 38 centimeters wide. It fell in the United States in 1887 and was huge, almost the size of a plate.
  9. In winter we love to drink warm drinks, like hot chocolate. The body loses heat faster in the cold, which is why a warm cup feels so comforting.
  10. 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.
