Andean Mandala with Center Bird and Tiny Animals

Concentric rings of geometric patterns fill this round design, with a small bird figure standing in a circle at the very center. A jagged, sun-like burst surrounds the bird. The next rings hold tiny animal figures, rows of dots, diamonds inside squares, and zigzag step shapes. Further out, sections of crosshatched triangles and stair-step blocks alternate with bands of zigzag triangles. Some of the stair-step panels include a small circle at the top. The outer border repeats nested rectangles and squares with diagonal lines. Try coloring each ring in its own color family, such as warm shades inside and cool shades outside, so the pattern reads clearly. The small animals and dots also work well for a counting or spot-the-shape game. The lines are fairly thin, so fine-tip markers or sharp pencils are a good fit.
