Five-Petal Flower With Mandala Center and Paisley Swirls

A large five-petal flower sits in the middle of the page, with a small layered mandala-style bloom inside it and a tiny circle at the very center. Around it, curling paisley shapes and pointed leaf forms fan out in every direction. Many of them are filled with rows of thin straight lines, while others have scalloped edges, little spirals, teardrops, and dotted loops along the borders. A small star-shaped flower with a curled paisley tail sits in the lower left, and a scalloped square corner fills the lower right. Because the sections are so varied, this page works well for colored pencils or fine-tip markers. Try one color family for the striped bands, such as blues and greens, then pick warmer shades for the center flower so it stands out. It is a good quiet-time activity for older kids and teens who like detailed work, and you can print as many copies as you need.
