Square Mandala with Sun Center and Circle Borders

A sun with wavy, curved rays sits inside a round frame at the center of this square mandala. Around it is a small grid of boxes, some holding wavy lines and some holding curved arcs. Nested square outlines surround the grid, with small stepped, tower-like blocks at the middle of each side. Near the corners are crescent moon shapes, and rows of small circles run along the edges. A pointed diamond shape and a few thin rectangles stick out past the outer square. The lines are clean and the spaces are a mix of large and small, so it suits older kids and teens who like careful, geometric work. Try coloring each nested square band in a different shade, then use warm colors for the sun and cool colors for the crescents and circles. It's also a good page for talking about symmetry, since the left and right sides match.
