Sunburst Compass Rose Mandala with a Six Point Star

A small circle sits in the middle of this round mandala, with a six pointed star drawn inside it. Long, thin spikes fan out from the center in overlapping layers, so the whole design looks like a sunburst or a compass rose. The spikes reach almost to the edge, where two thin rings and a larger outer circle frame everything. Because the spikes cross over each other, the page has lots of small triangle and diamond shaped spaces to fill in. Try coloring the center star in gold or silver, then alternate two or three colors on the spikes so you can see the pattern spin outward. It also works well for a Christmas craft, since the finished page can be cut out and hung in a window as a star ornament. Printable and easy to share with a whole class.
