Day 2 - Mandala Movement Meditation


Now...take it outside:


Rainy Day?

MANDALA COLORING

Download free mandala coloring pages, print and color with your favorite coloring tools such as colored pencil, crayons, markers or paint. These can vary widely in complexity so add 'for children' or 'for adults' to find the best fit for the colorer. There are also many wonderful mandala coloring books available (just google it!).


Mandala Coloring Tips and Games


Try these tips:

1) Find a cozy spot to color.

2) Listen to soft, calming music.

3) Choose your colors - you might like to coordinate them.

4) Start from the center.

5) Use the same colors for any repeating patterns.

6) Relax and enjoy!


Create a Family Mandala Wall

1) Print one of the SAME mandala designs for each family member.

2) Color in your designs individually (no peeking!).

3) As you finish, sign them and post them up on a wall all together.

4) What do you notice? Observe and discuss.


Collaborative Mandala Game

1) Print a single mandala coloring page.

2) Each person chooses one or two unique colors.

3) Take turns adding to the mandala.

4) Optional: When it's your turn, see if you can find and color just one of the repeating patterns.

5) Add your group design to the Family Mandala Wall.

Chalk it out!
