Christmas Tree and Candle Mandala in a Circle

Four Christmas trees point out from a small star in the center, forming a cross shape inside a large circle. Each tree is built from wavy, layered tiers and has a little rectangular trunk at its outer end. Between the trees, in the four corners, sit four candles. Each candle is a rounded square block with a teardrop flame, and a round halo or crescent shape curves around each flame. Because the picture is symmetrical, it works well for kids who like to repeat their color choices. Try coloring all four trees in the same set of greens, then give each candle a different wax color and keep the flames warm yellow and orange. Younger children can start with the big tree tiers, while older kids can take on the small star in the middle. This printable page makes a nice quiet activity during the holiday season.
