NAture Mandala

Using elements found in nature, you and your little one can create stunning mandalas.

Begin by taking a nature walk and collecting natures treasures in a basket. Think pebbles, feathers, leaves, flowers, bark, sticks and nuts (but remember to allow your little one to decide what’s important to them, as long as it’s safe). You can collect as much, or as little as you like. Be mindful not to disturb the home of creatures or the growth of plants.

Place your first treasure, this becomes your centre piece.

In a circular fashion, continue to add to your mandala by adding pieces around the centre piece. You might like to balance it by having the same shape or colour on opposite sides of the mandala. Don’t forget to talk about how it is coming together and what colours, shapes and textures of the items you are adding.
