Four Mice With Candles Around Christmas Gift Mandala

Four cartoon mice in Santa-style hats and striped sweaters circle a wrapped present in the middle of this round Christmas mandala. Each mouse holds a small candle in a holder and leans toward the gift, with a long tail curving out behind. The present has a big bow, a dotted lid, and stars on the box. A diamond shape sits inside a double circle border, and the mice are repeated in a turning pattern around the center. This free printable gives kids lots of small spaces to fill, like the stripes on the sweaters, the pom-poms on the hats, and the candle flames. Try coloring the four sweaters in different patterns of two or three colors, then pick bright warm shades for the flames so the candles stand out. It also works well for talking about symmetry and repeating patterns.
