Flower of Life Mandala Ringed by Six Roses

A round Flower of Life pattern of overlapping circles sits at the center of this mandala, with swirling scrollwork, curling leaf shapes and pointed thorny vines spreading out around it. Six large roses sit at the outer points, and each one has leaves and a butterfly with open wings tucked beside it. Between the roses, six smaller five-petal flowers with dotted centers fill the gaps, along with a few tiny loose leaves. Lines range from wide open petals to very small curls, so there is plenty to keep a patient colorer busy. Try coloring the overlapping circles in the center with a gradient from warm to cool shades, then pick one color family for the roses and a contrasting one for the butterflies so they stand out. Kids can also count the repeating roses, butterflies and flowers to practice symmetry.
