Nested Petals Flower Mandala with Eight Pointed Edge

A round flower mandala fills the page, built from a small circle at the center surrounded by a tiny star-like flower with pointed, nested petals. Larger lobed petals and leaf shapes spread out from there in rings. Eight pointed outer petals form the edge. Some are striped with diagonal lines, and others are split by a center line. Between them sit curled, rounded petals and small scalloped dots. Slim leaf shapes point outward along the four main directions, and a thin line runs through the middle in each direction. The lines are clean and the spaces range from big to very small, so the page works for crayons and fine markers. Try coloring each ring in one color family, such as cool blues near the center and warm oranges toward the outside. It also gives kids a nice way to spot and talk about symmetry, since every section repeats around the middle.
