Eight Striped Petals Around a Daisy Ring Mandala

A round mandala opens with eight large pointed petals around the outside, each with a striped border and a plain heart-shaped space inside that is easy to color. Small fan-shaped blooms with dotted circles sit between the petals. Moving inward, eight daisy-like flowers circle the middle, each with a striped round center and a ring of rounded petals. Leaf shapes with fine lines and small dotted arcs fill the gaps between them. At the very center, a ringed medallion holds an eight-pointed star with leaf shapes and a tiny star-shaped flower in the middle. This free printable works well for older kids and adults who like detailed patterns. Try coloring the eight big outer petals in one repeating color order, then use a different set of colors for the daisies so the rings stand out from each other. It also makes a nice way to talk about symmetry and counting.
