Why Kids Love This Duck Mandala
At the center stands a duck with a flower pattern on its wing, framed by a wreath of leaves and blossoms. Around it marches a ring of more than twenty tiny ducklings, and the next circle alternates big Easter eggs in zigzags, dots and stripes with wheat stalks and tulips. The outer border is lined with leaves, hearts and daisies. All those small sections are perfect for playing with color patterns and symmetry.

Fun Facts About Ducks
Farm ducks are descendants of the wild mallard. A male is called a drake, and the babies are ducklings. A mother duck sits on her eggs for about four weeks, and newly hatched ducklings follow the first thing they see – usually her. To stay dry, ducks spread oil from a gland near their tail over their feathers. And here’s a fun one: the loud quack mostly comes from females.
What to Do with Your Finished Mandala
Cut out the finished circle and hang it in a window as a sun catcher – rub a little cooking oil on the back so light shines through. Or fold it into a homemade Easter card for someone special.
