Heart Mandalas

 
 

Celebrate love and friendship with an easy heart drawing for Valentine’s Day. These heart mandalas are fun to make with family and friends as “back and forth” drawings together. These heart drawings are beautiful and worthy of displaying!

You’ll Need: 

  • Paper

  • Drawing tools - Anything goes! This drawing activity works with markers, pens, pencils, crayons, oil pastels, and even paints.

To Make: 

  1. To begin, the first person starts by drawing a small heart in the center of the page.

  2. Then, the second person adds a layer to the heart drawing, with another heart or some sort of design element around the first.

  3. Continue back and forth until both parties decide that the heart is complete.

  4. To finish, sign your collaborative heart art or add a message to it, if you like. 

Variations on Heart Mandalas:

  1. Include a larger group in this activity. You can do heart mandalas one-on-one, but you could do this with the whole family or a group of friends.

  2. Instead of going back-and-forth right away, leave the heart drawing out over a few days and let each person add their layer at their leisure.

  3. A single person can make a heart mandala drawing by themselves by adding consecutive layers of drawing elements or colors.
