Coloring Book Labyrinth Printables for Very Young Children

Since the beginning of documented civilization, labyrinths and spiral patterns have been found everywhere ancient indigenous people have lived and traveled.

Today labyrinths also appear on the Internet where people meet virtually as well as in the physical world in churches, recreation areas, schools and even prisons.

The spiral, an early symbol for the sun, is the most common ancient symbol found everywhere people have settled or visited. Because ancient people believed the sun died every evening and was reborn in the mornings, spirals decorate ancient tombs, crypts and burial sites to represent this cycle of life, death and rebirth.

Spirals that appear in nature on such things as shells, flower petals, leaves, horns, claws and fingerprints are called whorls.

The spiral has many different forms including:

• Archimedean spiral
• Cornu spiral
• Fermat's spiral
• hyperbolic spiral
• lituus
• logarithmic spiral
• spiral of Theodorus

The spiral represented here is the Archimedean spiral.
