Color choices
This ancient compass mandala builds out from a sunburst of triangles at the center through several rings of ovals, dashes, and arrow points. Color the innermost triangle ring in alternating warm shades to make the sunburst spin outward. Try a cool contrasting color for the ring of long ovals surrounding it, then a third color for the outer band of small dashes and arrows. Keep the very outer ring a plain tone to frame the whole design.
Printing tips
Ancient Compass Mandala has about 178 separate areas to color, a medium level of detail. Crayons work for the larger shapes, and colored pencils or fine markers help in the smaller spaces.
The PDF fills one US Letter page. On A4 paper, choose “Fit to page” so the frame stays inside the margins, and print one test copy before making a class set.
