Making mandalas
Duration: 9:03
Step 1:
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.
Step 2:
Select a pair of objects (same colour, size and shape) and place one object down as your starting point.
Place the second object down so it's symmetrical. You will need to flip, slide or turn the object.
Step 3:
Continue creating 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.
What is a line of symmetry?
How many can you see in your Mandala?
Could you make more lines of symmetry if you moved or added any other objects?
