Coloring Ocean Mandalas: 30 Hand-Drawn Designs for Mindful Relaxation Review and Giveaway

Coloring Ocean MandalasI am a lucky gal, I live a mere stones throw from the ocean as the crow flies. When you really do the journey it is down a one hill and basically up one right next door and about 200 steps at the top to the right and boom: the ocean!

On windy days the ocean breeze becomes clear and I can smell is as if I was actually at the ocean. The ocean makes appearances throughout our life from the name of our network to the name of our cars – the ocean’s presence in our life is clear.

I have seen many coloring books but few related specifically to mandalas and the ocean, until I heard about a new coloring book called Coloring Ocean Mandalas: 30 Hand-Drawn Designs for Mindful Relaxation by Wendy Piersall.

Coloring Ocean Mandalas: 30 Hand-Drawn Designs for Mindful Relaxation by Wendy Piersall is a wonderful underwater excursion where you can make the canvas of the ocean your own rainbow on land.

Ocean Mandala CollageThe hand-drawn pictures throughout this book include seashells, jellyfish sea urchins, dolphins, sea horses, and turtles. Also included are mermaids and whales and are just some of the drawings included throughout this underwater adventure. Each of the 30 drawings are on one side of the page only. Also of note is the pages are not perforated, so take care if you plan to remove the pages. While this book smaller than the typical size – 7 ½” x 9 ¼”, the smaller size fits well with the 6 ½ “ across design size.

I have a couple of recommendations in regards to coloring in this book. The first recommendation I would make is that you stick to either fine tipped pens, colored pencils or well shaved crayons. The lines are not the thickest and I think that crayons would make this easier. The second recommendation I have is that you place a piece of paper in between each page to guard not only against bleed through but also any indents on the other pages that can be caused by pressing down to hard on the page.

If you are anything like me and love the ocean, and especially deep underwater this is the coloring book for you. I loved that each drawing allows for maximum creativity and color – if you are a mermaid, ocean lover, in need of relaxation this is book for you!

    I love to swim. So my favorite part is swimming in the ocean. Love to snorkel and see all the beautiful and amazing ocean creatures. I always say that I want to be a Mermaid when I grow up. Feel at peace in the water.

    The sand and sound of the ocean – warm weather not withstanding!

  8. Cindy Peterson

    I love that the ocean is a world not fully explored with many eye opening creatures to discover.

  11. Juls

    I live in a landlocked area but love the ocean. This coloring book would be great to use while I listen to my ocean sounds app.

  24. jenny stratton

    That’s a tough question I love everything about the ocean, maybe the calming effect of the waves.

  27. Kristy Richie

    There’s just something about the ocean that always calls to me… I love it’s shores, it’s waves.. the mystery and I love collecting the shells and spotting exotic creatures.

  30. clynsg

    My favorite thing about the ocean is its variability. It can be peaceful,with beautiful colors as well as energetic and wild in turn.

      Isn’t it amazing – my husband loves to watch shows about Sharks and Ocean Predators – it is amazing to think that we really don’t know whats under there. We know more about space then what is in the depths of our oceans.

      Due to pressure, there are places that we literally can not get to – amazing to ponder.

  33. Patricia Chamberlain

    My favorite thing about the ocean is all the beautiful sea creatures.

  38. sue14625

  40. Angela Saver

    My favorite thing about the ocean is the sound of the waves & the beautiful sunsets!

  42. Kristina Potter

    I love this question. I live in Illinois. So I never grew up around an ocean but have briefly been to one on the east, west and southern coasts. My absolute favorite thing about the ocean is the suprises it leaves you on the beaches. I love the shells!!! One day I hope to live by the ocean, you never know what it will bring you!!

  45. Suzy Greer

    I love how powerful and yet calm it is. It can knock you down and pull you under one moment, and the next be totally still and serene.

  47. Linda Bradshaw

    I love the beautiful colors and shapes of the fish and other creatures. They are all so unique and great.

  48. Jessica K.

    I love the ocean because it reminds me of home. I grew up on an island in Rhode Island and went to the beach almost every day during the summer. I currently live in North Dakota and I miss the smell and the sand between my toes and the beauty of looking out as far as you can see.

  52. Carissa joslyn

    The peacefulness of it! I also love sharks, don’t want to encounter one, though. lol!

  54. Rebecca F

    I love how relaxing and peaceful it is. I have always slept wonderfully when I can hear the waves.

  55. Elizabeth H.

    I love the calming effect it has on me. I love walking along the beach and looking for shells.

  60. Susan S.

    Hm, my favorite thing about the ocean? I guess that would have to be the sounds of the surf crashing onshore and the birds screeching overhead.

  65. Paul Mercogliano

    I grew up near the ocean, and am now living in the desert. As beautiful as the desert can be, there is nothing that compares to the feeling of being by the ocean. The feeling that we belong in the Universe and are loved by a God who created such beautiful things for us to experience in our lives.

  66. Amy Deeter

    i love how beautiful the ocean is and how peaceful it is.I love sitting there in the sand and just listening to the waves
