Despite the stringent measures and strong advisories issued by the governments of respective countries, the number of Covid-19 cases continues to climb drastically instilling fear in the heart of everyone. As a result, schools, colleges and universities have to shut down, factories and offices come to almost a standstill, tourist attraction places are completely empty, tourism and recreation come almost to a complete halt due to entry restrictions imposed …the list of mandatory do’s and don’ts increases, affecting the mental well-being of the people and driving many of them (both adults as well as youths and children) to stress, anxiety and depression. The author’s aim of this paper is to provide a brief exploratory review on the use of mandala drawing and coloring as a diagnostic-therapeutic approach to promote mental health or well-being in young children.  \nKeywords: Covid-19 Pandemic, Mandala Drawing and Coloring, Mental Health/Well-Being  \n1.

The disease was first detected in Mexico in February 2009 and spread rapidly to the United States by April in the same year. Soon other parts of the world were also infected by people traveling out of Mexico and the United States. In June of that year, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic.  \nTen years later, in 2019, in a wet market in the city of Wuhan in China, a new pandemic was about to occur. A young Chinese doctor 1 noticed a new contagious disease was infecting many people and alerted his colleagues about it. However, the local authorities chose to hush up the doctor and even threatened him with jail.
