Mandalas have been used from ancient times to the present as an aid
to meditation. The arrangement around a central point assists us in
finding our inner centre and helps the spirit unwind in today's
increasingly fast-paced, noisy world. Children can occupy
themselves for hours with mandalas, and so many teachers and
nursery nurses use them in kindergartens. The colouring-in process
promotes patience, colour sense and concentration, and the finished
mandalas give children a feeling of accomplishment. They enjoy the
experience of seeing the effect as they colour them in!
