    The overall objective of this study was to analyze children's mandalas in the figureground visual perception of girls aged 4 to 5 years. To this end, a methodology was used that fell within the positivist paradigm, with a quantitative approach, explanatory scope, and quasi-experimental design, in bibliographic form and with a cross-sectional approach. The technique used was structured observation, and the Beery Test Visual Perception Subtest was applied as an instrument, complemented by a plan based on children's mandalas. The population consisted of 29 girls aged 4 to 5 years, who underwent an intervention designed to stimulate figure-ground perception through the use of children's mandalas. Data analysis was performed using the statistical program R. The results obtained after comparing the pre- and postintervention assessments showed a significant improvement in the development of figure-ground visual perception. In particular, it was found that 55.17% of the girls reached the “acquired” level in this perceptual skill, which indicates remarkable progress compared to the initial results. These findings confirm the effectiveness of children's mandalas as an effective pedagogical tool for enhancing visual perception at an early age, thus contributing to the cognitive and educational development of preschool children. In conclusion, the study supports the use of structured visual resources such as mandalas in early educational contexts, positioning them as a valuable strategy for fostering fundamental perceptual skills in early learning.
