Flower Mandala With Hearts and Small Blossoms

A large layered flower sits at the center of this round mandala. It has a scalloped middle with two plain circles inside, surrounded by pointed petals in two rings. Four long leaf shapes reach outward, and curved lines cross between them to make big petal sections. Six small five-petal flowers, each with a circle in the middle, sit in the open spaces. Six hearts, each with a smaller heart drawn inside, are placed around the scalloped outer edge. The lines are clean and the sections are a good size, so it works well for crayons or markers. Try coloring the hearts in one shade family and the small flowers in another, then let the center flower use the brightest colors. It is also a handy way to talk about symmetry and counting with kids, since the shapes repeat evenly all the way around.
