Cartoon Pelican on Swirling Waves Mandala

A cartoon-style pelican stands in the middle of a round design, its long bill open and one eye looking ahead. A curled tuft of feathers sits on its head, and the wing has a spiral shape with jagged feather edges. Its tail feathers fan out behind it, and its webbed foot rests on a small wave below. Two striped fish swim to the right of the bird. Around the whole scene, a thick circular border of curling waves, splashes and water droplets fills the edge with fine hatching lines. This free printable works well for kids who like to practice staying inside small spaces, since the wave curls and droplets are different sizes. Try soft blues and greens for the water, then pick a warm color for the bill and bright stripes for the fish so the middle of the page stands out from the border.
