Chicken Mandala With Eggs and Feathers Coloring Page

A single chicken head sits at the centre of this mandala with a ring of plain oval eggs around it and an outer ring of single feathers running out to the edge of the circle. The symmetry is the point. Whatever colour you put on one segment you can echo on every other segment in that ring, so the sheet builds itself once you commit to the first ring. Work from the middle outward and the page stays balanced. Adults tend to take the mandalas slowly, and this one holds enough separate shapes to fill an evening. Children can still use it if you let them treat each ring as one colour rather than colouring shape by shape. The eggs are large and plain on purpose, which gives the eye somewhere to rest between the face at the centre and the finer feather work around the rim. Print it on the heaviest paper your printer takes, because a mandala this dense is where markers bleed through cheap copier paper and spoil whatever is on the back of the sheet.
