They can choose precisely which shapes and patterns to include in their mandala, even if they’ve never created one before Mandalas are Meditative : While many children do not spend hours a day meditating, we can build meditative moments into their busy days, which will encourage them to pause and slow down. Their mandala does not need to be completed in one sitting. They can focus on creating 1 ring at a time, or 1 section at a time, depending on their level of engagement. You can play some relaxing music, while they focus their attention on each line and shape that they build into their design. Having these quiet, meditative, creative moments in your child’s life can help them deal and process emotions, plus it encourages them to be mindful. Once they get into a creative rhythm, creating their mandala can absorb their attention (even if it’s just for a few moments) and help them relax. Mandalas are Therapeutic : Mandalas are often used in art therapy for children to help restore mental balance and process emotions. Since mandalas require a certain level of concentration, they allow the artist to focus on the creative process instead of ruminating on potentially negative or anxious thoughts. Mandalas in art therapy are often a reflection and visual representation of the creator’s emotional state. The shapes and colors that children choose to use in their mandala art therapy sessions will reflect their inner state, at the time of creation. After designing their mandala, they will have a beautiful representation of their thoughts and emotions from that particular moment in time, which can be very liberating. Painting with Balloons is a great activity for kids to explore creatively and imaginatively as they create freely using simple props in an open-ended and unstructured way.
