Ten-Sided Star Mandala with Crescents and Diamonds

A ten-sided mandala is built around a small star in the center, with a larger pointed star wrapped around it. Around that, kite and diamond shapes point outward, and little squares, tiny triangles, and rows of dots and circles fill the gaps between them. Leaf-shaped petals curve between the inner rings. The outer edge has ten panels. Five of them hold a circle flanked by two crescent moons, and the other five hold a pointed arrowhead shape. Lines are clean and the spaces vary from tiny to large, so there is something for every skill level. Try coloring each ring in a different color family, such as cool blues in the center and warm oranges on the outside. Kids can also hunt for matching shapes and count how many crescents they find. This free printable works well for a quiet afternoon or a symmetry lesson.
