Mandalas for Kids II

My older daughter is on a roll with mandala ideas, as we learned in Mandalas for Kids. More ideas for drawing mandalas and doing mandala art with children:

• Focus on one shape, such as a triangle, and use it in different ways
• Use a variety of symbols, doodles, abstract shapes, even letters
• Use different colors for different shapes as you work outward
• Use different colors for each "level" as you work outward
• Draw a huge circle with a plate and work from the outside in
• Draw the mandala on a paper plate, to make use of the pre-made circle!
• For toddlers, try using alphabet stamps, fingerprints, doodles or found stamps
