Why Kids Love This Sheep Mandala
A small, woolly sheep sits in a circle right in the middle. Rings wrap around it: first leaves, hearts and little flowers, then a band of zigzags and wheat ears, then arches and circles, and finally flowers, wheat and hearts on the outside. Because the patterns repeat all the way around, it’s easy to settle into a calm rhythm. A real project for patient colorers.

Fun Facts About Sheep
The wheat in the mandala is a good fit: sheep live on meadows and pastures and mostly eat grass, herbs and hay. As cud chewers, they chew their food twice. Sheep can remember faces – of other sheep and even people – for a long time. A lamb knows its mother’s voice, even in a big flock. On dikes, sheep help out as natural gardeners by keeping the grass short.
What to Do with Your Finished Mandala
Cut out the finished mandala and hang it in a window – a little cooking oil on the back lets the light shine through. Several mandalas together make a lovely classroom gallery wall.
