Four Dogs Running Round a Sun and Stars Mandala

Four dogs run around a large round shape in the middle of a circular frame, each one facing a different direction so the whole picture feels like it is slowly turning. Two of the dogs show their faces with floppy ears, open mouths and tongues out, while the other two are drawn mostly from the side with long pointed snouts and bushy tails. Two smiling suns with straight rays sit in opposite corners. The other two corners hold small clusters of five-pointed stars in different sizes. The center holds a big circle with a smaller circle inside it, leaving open space to color. Try painting the suns in warm yellows and the star corners in deep blues and purples, then give each dog a different coat color so kids can follow them around the circle. This printable page works well for quiet time at home or in a classroom.
