Symmetrical Mandala of Flowers, Leaves and Buds

One large round flower sits in the middle of this page. Its center is a ring of small beaded circles and tiny petal shapes, wrapped in layers of pointed petals. Leaves, small tulip-like buds and little round blossoms surround it in a mirrored pattern, and four bigger five-petal flowers, each with a circular center, fill the corners. Curling leaves and tiny flowers take up the spaces in between. With so many small sections, it's better for older kids, teens or grown-ups who like patient, detailed coloring than for little ones who want big open spaces. Warm sunset shades such as orange, coral and yellow could go on the center flower, with soft greens on the leaves and pink or purple on the corner blossoms. Fine-tip markers or sharp colored pencils work best. It's a free printable for a quiet afternoon, a classroom calm-down corner or a rainy day.
