Peppermint Swirl Christmas Mandala with Eight Candy Canes

Eight striped candy canes spread out from a big round peppermint swirl at the center, a bit like flower petals. Every cane has a curved hook and diagonal stripes, and the peppermint in the middle has curved swirl sections spiraling outward. Around the edges, six small outlined stars and lots of tiny dots and circles float like falling snow. The shapes are bold and the stripes are simple to follow, so it works for kids who enjoy patterns but want a little challenge. Red and green stripes taking turns on the canes would look festive, and the peppermint center can be bright red and white. The stars and dots would look great in yellow or light blue. This free printable makes a quiet activity for a holiday party, a classroom center or a cozy afternoon.
