A Mandala is a geometric design used in Hinduism and Buddhism to help meditation. It is like a religious pattern of the universe.

And you can make your own!

You will need:

• Paper or card
• Pens or pencils in many colors.

The Activity

Cut out a circle from paper or card. Mark the center.

Starting at the center, make your own wonderful and colorful Mandala!

Start at the center. Draw patterns using any symmetry of your choice, and fill them in.
Continue adding patterns as you move further from the center.
The finished result! (Made by Alexis)
