The instructions cover preparing a muffin-tray layout with nature discs, gathering balanced quantities of each item, placing pieces to complete the artwork, and trying a mirrored half-mandala version. A reflection section supports math skills, mindfulness, and creativity, followed by options to draw and label favorites and share pictures or videos.","Activity Sheets  \nHOW TO MAKE A NATURE MANDALA  \nThe word mandala is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning “circle.” People all over the world use mandalas in different ways, some for spiritual practice, and some just for their artistic and symmetrical beauty.  \nMaking nature mandalas is a very calming and creative activity – it is also great for developing problem-solving and fine motor skills.  \nWhat you will need:  \nWE BELIEVE THIS ACTIVITY IS BEST SUITED TO FAMILIES (SOME SUPERVISION/SUPPORT MAY BE REQUIRED)  \nPRINT: your nature disc sheet for your muffin tin to guide your search  \nPRINT: your mandala mat template  \nPRINT: your muffin tin template  \nA muffin tin from the kitchen to collect your natural items in  \nScissors  \nColouring pencils & a pen  \nWarm clothes… to keep you cosy whilst you are hunting for your items!  \nStep One:  \nUsing your scissors, select 12 types of nature you want to hunt for and collect and then carefully cut out the nature discs from the sheet. Drop one into each of the recesses in your muffin tray, these will help you know what to search for!  \nOnce you have done this, pop on your warm clothes and we will head outside!  \nStep Two:  \nUsing the discs in your muffin tray as a guide, try to find AT LEAST four of each of the items so that your mandala will be balanced – remember, it is all about SYMMETRY.  \nStep Three:  \nOnce you have collected all your items you are ready to make your nature mandala! Carefully cut around the mandala mat template provided. Start to lay your nature pieces on the mat on top of the shapes. Think about where you place these items to create a balanced picture using as many of the items as you think you need to complete your art!  \n Take a picture of your beautiful mandala  \nStep Four:  \nTry another mandala, this time use the mat where only half of the mandala is visible and try to mirror this using your materials without the guides.  \nTake a picture of your beautiful mandala  \nStep Five:  \nSort your items back into the tray and look at them carefully. Which are your favourites and why. Is it the colour, the smell; close your eyes, notice how they feel in your hands.  \nWe want to record our finds, like proper explorers! So, pick out your favourites in each category – there can be more than one – and using the empty muffin tin template we are going to draw and label these items.  \nWhat skills have we learned?  \n Maths (repeating, counting and symmetry)  \n Mindfulness (mandala making is a calming and relaxing activity)  \n Creativity (the patterns you make are individual to you)  \nWe hope you have enjoyed making your mandalas.  \nMaybe next you could try making your own mandala mat or a pattern on the earth without a mat, this is a wonderful activity!  \nShare your activities with others who can't get outside  \nEveryone loves to get outside and it 's so important for our bodies and our minds, but what about those people who can’t get outside for themselves, perhaps due to illness or disability?  \nIt’s important for us to record our outdoor activities and to share these with people who can’t connect with nature themselves, to let people experience it through our eyes.  \nShare your pictures or videos of you completing these activities and send them to us [at outsidelivesltd@gmail.com](at outsidelivesltd@gmail.com), we will share them as part of the project.  \nYou can also share them with us on Twitter @outside_lives \\#IntoTheWoods  \nWE BELIEVE THIS ACTIVITY IS BEST SUITED TO FAMILIES (SOME SUPERVISION/SUPPORT MAY BE REQUIRED)  \nOutside Lives Ltd.
