Round Mandala with Eight Point Star and Paired Circles

An eight-pointed star with a small circle at its center sits in the middle of this round mandala. A thick ring surrounds the star, and petal and leaf shapes with pointed tips fan out around it, joined by thin crossing lines that look like little spokes. Near the outer edge are eight rounded, peanut-shaped blobs, and each one holds two circles side by side. A heavy circular border closes in the whole design. The lines are bold and the spaces are mostly medium to large, so this works well for kids and for anyone who likes relaxed coloring. Try giving the star points two alternating colors, then pick one shade for all sixteen small circles so the outer ring feels like a matching set. This free printable also makes a nice way to talk about symmetry, since every section repeats around the center.
