Spiraling Rounded Petals Mandala with Curly Swirl Edge

A round flower mandala fills the page, built from rows of overlapping rounded petals that seem to spiral outward from the middle. At the very center is a small circle with thin pinwheel-style segments around a tiny dot. Around it are rings of smaller scalloped petals, then a band of little curled wave shapes. Past the large petals, pointed leaf shapes with an inner outline stick out around the edge, and each one is framed by loose curly spirals. The lines are bold and the sections are a good size, so younger kids can stay inside them while older kids can add detail. Try coloring the petal rows in a gradual shift, such as pale yellow near the center moving to deep orange, then use a contrasting color for the pointed leaves and swirls. It also works well for talking about spirals and patterns that repeat. Print as many copies as you like.
