Four Seasons Tree Mandala
A central tree is encircled by spring blossoms, summer sunbursts, autumn leaves, and winter snowflakes in ornate mandala rings.
🎨 How to color it
Try fresh pinks and pale greens for the blossom branches, golden yellow for the suns, burnt orange for the pumpkins and oak leaves, and icy blue for the snowflakes. Use sharp colored pencils on the tiny spirals, leaf veins, bees, and scalloped borders, then work slowly from the central tree outward so your hand does not smudge finished sections. For a seasonal twist, blend each quadrant into the next—spring green warming to summer gold, then autumn copper cooling into winter blue.

The tiny bees beside the leafy summer tree look innocent, but their dotted flight paths are covering up the busiest prank in the whole mandala.
Right in the middle of the turning year, Mira was trying to conduct the four seasons at once when a gusty swirl stole her acorn ledger and flipped it into the pumpkin patch. The spring bird above the blossoms chirped, the winter snowflakes drifted sideways, and one smug little bee buzzed as if it had planned everything. Can you find the bird near the upper branches? That is the lookout who saw the ledger tumble past the sun.
Mira dashed along the circular path, laughing when three acorns rolled the wrong way and a pumpkin bumped politely into a snowflake. The setback lasted exactly as long as it took the central tree to shake one narrow leaf loose. It twirled down like an arrow, pointing straight to the lost ledger beside the two pumpkins. Look for those pumpkins near the lower right of the inner circle, then hunt for the snowflakes gathered on the lower left. With the ledger rescued, Mira gave the bee a new job: counting leaves, not causing weather confusion.
