Mandala Art

Children love colour and pattern, and this project delivers plenty of both! Mandalas are a great way to teach children about repeating patterns and symmetry. A mandala is a geometric design that holds a great deal of symbolism in many cultures. Mandala, which is Sanskrit for “circle”, are circles arranged into sections that are all organised around a single, central point. They are just perfect for learning about radial symmetry!

Today colourful mandalas can be found in mindful colouring books, printed onto fashion, wall art, tattoos and so much more.

For a crafty-noon of arty fun you can create your own mandala design using simple craft supplies and recycled materials. As the weather warms up and the flowers start to bloom; you could also take a garden walk and collect nature finds for a beautiful natural mandala design.

You’ll need:

  • Large cardboard circle
  • Materials to build your mandala such as wooden cutlery, beads or pegs, paddle pop sticks, pasta, pom poms
  • Nature finds such as gumnuts, seeds or pods
  • Recycled materials from the kitchen such as bottle tops, bread bag tags
  • Hot glue gun or quick dry craft glue
  • Liquid paint
  • Paint brush

How to do it:

  1. Cut out a large cardboard circle My mandala was 25cm diameter, but the bigger the better!
  2. Divide your mandala into at least 5-8 sections by placing the long craft materials on the cardboard. You also might like to draw these sections with a pencil.
  3. Begin arranging an interesting selection of materials in one section at a time. Remind your child that mandala patterns repeat to create radial symmetry. Arrange the same placement of materials in each section of your mandala.
  4. Once you are happy with your design begin gluing your materials in place. Leave to dry.
  5. Now it’s time to add colour with liquid paint! Select a colour to paint the background first, then have some fun painting the different materials.
  6. Your colourful mandala is complete! A great alternative to using household items and craft supplies for your mandala are nature finds. Leave, seed pods, flowers and gum nuts would make a beautiful nature mandala perfect for spring!

No Food Shaming.

If you grew up in the ‘80s, ‘90s, or early 2000’s, chances are you were taught to see food through a moral lens: veggies were “good,” chocolate was “bad,” and fat was something to fear. That messaging stuck.

So now, when you reach for a bag of chips after a long day or say yes to dessert, a quiet voice in the back of your mind is likely to whisper: “You shouldn’t.” You feel like you’ve done something wrong – simply for eating something you enjoy. And here’s the thing: our kids are watching. They’re listening. The way we talk about food becomes the way they relate to it.

If you want to raise confident eaters, it’s time to let go of the “good” vs “bad” food narrative and allow your kids to enjoy food without guilt or shame. Let’s be real; some foods are more nutrient-dense than others. But that doesn’t mean that we need to rank them on a scale. Instead of calling food “good” or “bad”, try talking about how it fits into the bigger picture of what our bodies need. 

Read on for a few ways to reframe the conversation:
