Mental Health Matters Coloring Page in a Leaf and Berry Wreath

Stacked in curly hand lettering, the words "Mental Health Matters" fill the middle of this mental health matters coloring page. An oval wreath of leaves, fern fronds and small round berries closes around them, and the two sides of the wreath meet in a cluster of broad leaves at the bottom.

It is an intermediate page for ages 9 and up, teens and adults. It suits a counseling office wall, the table at a support group meeting and a quiet coloring break at the end of a school day. The phrase fits any time of year, and it also suits May, Mental Health Awareness Month in the United States.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "the words 'Mental Health Matters' in big hand lettering at the center of the page, inside a round wreath of leaves, ferns and small berries, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page".

The words "hand lettering" gave the phrase script letters with curling strokes. The capital M of Mental and of Matters starts with a curl, and a single long bar crosses both t's in Matters. The wreath is an oval ring, a little taller than wide, which leaves room for three lines of words. "Small berries" turned into clusters of round berries on thin stems, tucked between the leaves.

Details of This Mental Health Matters Coloring Page

The phrase sits alone at the center of the sheet, with only plants around it. The words are large, and each letter is wide enough to hold a pattern of dots or stripes.

For a group, finished copies can hang side by side on a wall, each with its own colors, as a display for a meeting room or for the month of May.

The lettering runs in three lines, Mental, Health and Matters, and every letter is a hollow outline. Nineteen berries hang in five groups. Five share one sprig at the top left, one hangs alone on the left side with three more just below it, and the lower right holds a group of four and a group of six.

Two fern fronds with rows of rounded leaflets run along the ring, one down the upper right side and one along the lower left. Broad pointed leaves with a center vein fill the rest of the wreath, and the largest of them overlap at the bottom center.

Coloring Ideas and Techniques

Mixed greens make the wreath look full. Try sage for the fern fronds, a deep green for the broad leaves and a yellow green for the small leaves near the top. Red or dark purple berries add a bright accent in five spots around the ring. A fine-tip marker handles the narrow fern leaflets, and a broad marker fills the big leaves quickly.

The letters can share one solid color, or each word can take a different shade of the same color, light at the top and dark at the bottom. Leave the background white, or fill it with a soft layer of colored pencil so the wreath frames a colored oval.

For a group that wants its own message in a frame of leaves, create a wreath page with the words your group chooses.
