Sweet Treat Mandala with Cupcakes and Ice Pops

A round mandala built around a center circle divided into wedges, with small circles and tiny flowers inside and a ring of fried-egg-like blobs around the edge of it. Four cupcakes with ridged paper liners and round toppings sit at the top, bottom, left and right. Between them are four ice pops on sticks, tilted toward the corners. Small starburst flowers fill the spaces near the center, and a ring of evenly sized beads circles the whole design. Straight lines divide the page into pie-shaped sections, so every area is clearly outlined. Try coloring each cupcake a different flavor, like pink strawberry or brown chocolate, then match the ice pops to the cupcake beside them. It is also a nice way to talk about symmetry, since each treat repeats around the circle. Crayons or fine markers work well for the narrow liner stripes.
