Owl Mandala with Flower-Filled Eyes

A round, front-facing owl sits at the center of this mandala, with two huge eyes that each hold a many-petaled flower around a small dot. Scalloped rings and little patterned layers surround the eyes, and the pointed ears have dotted and striped sections. A small beak sits between the eyes, and the chest is filled with rows of teardrop shapes joined by tiny circles. Narrow wings run down both sides with scale-like patterns, and short feet show at the bottom. Around the owl, leafy branches, curved teardrop petals, small flowers, swirls, and a half-sun shape at the top fill out the circle. Try a different color family for each area, such as warm tones for the eye flowers and cool blues and greens for the teardrop chest. Fine-tip markers or sharp colored pencils work best for the small spaces. This free printable suits older kids, teens, and adults who like a long, calm coloring session.
