A mandala is a picture built from repeating shapes. Colouring one asks a child to slow down and fill one small shape at a time, which is exactly why it works: it builds concentration, fine motor control and an eye for colour, and it's twenty quiet minutes without a screen.
The Focus colouring books turn things children know (animals, birds, leaves, fruit and vegetables) into mandalas, from simple outlines to detailed pages. Every page is perforated, so a finished picture tears out cleanly for the wall. You can see pages our readers have coloured in the readers' gallery.
Ages 5 and up. Patterns and Designs Level 1 is for 5 to 8; the Nature and Fruits and Vegetables books suit 5 and up, including adults.
Colouring small, repeating shapes takes sustained attention and steady hands, so it's good practice for both. Children also tend to find it calming.
