Mandalas Out of Anything
A mandala is a circular pattern that you can make with any materials that are available to you!
You can make a mandala out of materials in your recycle bin, items you find around your house (a toy mandala!), materials you find in nature (grass, twigs, sticks), and even with your food before you eat it (a snack mandala!).
The unique thing about a mandala is that you can take your time making it (it should feel relaxing), and when you are ready to be done, you can take it apart and start all over again.
Here is how you can make puppets out of paper towel or toilet paper rolls:
- Find empty toilet paper roll
- Use a marker to draw your favorite animal on it.
- Cut out around the top part of the animal.
- Use your animal as a puppet & have a puppet show
- You can use your puppet as a crayon holder or napkin ring when the puppet show is over
- You can also use scissors to make four small (1-inch), equally spaced cuts on the bottom and fold it to make an animal-themed toilet paper roll planter for growing seeds!
- When you are all done with your paper towel roll puppet, you can recycle or compost it
