We believe that Art itself is a form of mindfulness in action.

Whether it be drawing, painting, or even collage, engaging in art transports us to a place of quiet reflection, personal expression and allows us to be present in the moment to what is happening.

We had fun last term in our YogArt classes making our 3D Mandala mobiles. It is a simple fun activity that you may like to connect and share with your own child or offer to your students.

Your materials
Paper plates / glue/ scissors / magazines or coloured paper / string / hole punch.

Instructions

Take 2 plates and face them towards one another and staple around the edge.
Make a hole at the top with the hole punch and attach the string – then it become a mobile!
Look through magazines to find colours you like – you may want to group them together- we were lucky we had Japanese paper.Cut the paper and collage onto the plate.
For younger children you may want to use a single plate it is up to you!
Have FUN!
