What to do
What to do
Collect objects from around your house. You will need to collect a pair of each object (two objects that are the same colour, size and shape). Remember to ask permission before using natural materials.
Select a pair of objects (two objects that are the same colour, size and shape) and place one object down as your starting point.
Create your own mandala using the objects you have collected by flipping, sliding and turning the objects.
You can check the lines of symmetry using a ribbon to see if each side is a mirror image.
