How to print these spirograph coloring pages
The fastest route is the Print all patterns button above — a print stylesheet places each design on its own page, black lines on a white background, sized for both US Letter and A4. For a single pattern, use its Download PNG button instead: you'll get a high-resolution image (rendered at 4× scale, well above 2000 pixels) that prints crisply at any size up to poster format.
Every design on this page is a real hypotrochoid or epitrochoid produced by gear combinations from the physical Spirograph Deluxe set — the recipe under each pattern lists the exact ring, wheel, and pen position that draws it. That means you can reproduce any of these on paper with the actual toy, or open the recipe in the online spirograph generator and tweak it: change the pen position for fatter or sharper petals, layer a second color, or shift the start tooth to rotate the whole pattern — then use the 🖨 Coloring page button there to turn your own design into a printable like these.
Why spirographs make perfect mandala coloring pages
A mandala is built from repeating cells arranged in concentric rings around a center — and that's exactly what a spirograph produces, with geometric precision no hand-drawn mandala can match. A single gear pair gives you one ring of petals; layer a second and third combination on the same center (as in the mandala designs above) and the crossings between layers create hundreds of small enclosed cells, the same structure you'd find in an adult mandala coloring book. Because every design here comes from real gear ratios, the symmetry is always exact: a 32-petal layer repeats every 11.25°, perfect for alternating color schemes. To make your own, open any mandala above in the visualizer, switch the background to white, and keep adding layers until the density feels right.
Coloring tips
Spirograph patterns reward two very different approaches. Radial coloring follows the petals — pick two or three alternating colors and work around the wheel like a mandala. Region coloring ignores the petals and instead fills each enclosed cell where the lines cross, which turns dense patterns like the 35-petal rosette into a stained-glass effect. Fine liners and gel pens handle the narrow outer cells better than markers; save the markers for designs with fewer, fatter petals (anything under 10 petals in the combination table).
