Christmas Bells Mandala with Eight Point Star

Eight bells ring around a circular mandala, each one hanging with a round clapper and pointing toward the center. Small ornaments with tiny circles sit between the bells, and curly ribbon-like scrolls loop along the outer ring. Inside the bell wreath is a plain circle that holds a layered star. It has an eight-pointed outline, a second star shape inside it, and a small star at the very middle. Two thin circles frame the whole design. The shapes are fairly large, so younger kids can color them with crayons, while older kids can use fine markers on the scrollwork. Try giving the bells alternating colors, such as gold and silver, then fill the star rings in a gradient from dark to light. This free printable also works well for a quiet holiday table activity.
