Six Leaping Reindeer Mandala With Scalloped Border

Six reindeer circle a round center in this mandala, each one leaping with its legs kicked out and its head turned outward. Some have branching antlers with leafy, needle-like details, and small star-shaped marks sit on their bodies. In the middle is a plain small circle surrounded by a ring of tiny curled shapes, all inside a larger circle. The outer edge is a wavy, scalloped border filled with rows of empty round bubbles joined by smaller dots, which are great for filling in one at a time. Try coloring the reindeer in two alternating shades, such as brown and gray, then give the bubbles a pattern of colors that repeats around the edge. It also works well as a quiet counting activity: kids can count the reindeer, then count the bubbles in each section of the border. Print it as many times as you like for a holiday table or a rainy afternoon.
