nature mandala
Wherever you wander, use what you find to get creative!
Easy ideas
A mandala is a special design made up of circles, and it’s easy to create your own out of things you find in nature. Just gather your items and arrange them in a pattern on the ground (use our photos as inspiration!).
Respect nature
Remember to only use things that have already fallen to the ground (don’t pick leaves or petals off plants), and never disturb wildlife.

The beach is a great place to get creative – all those different colours of pebbles, shells and seaweed will give you loads of arty options!

Art anywhere
Art anywhere
The great thing about a mandala is that you can make one anywhere. Use sticks and leaves in a forest, or fallen petals in a park or garden.

Wild tip
Take a photo of your mandala so you can remember it, but leave all the bits behind so wildlife can eat or use them.
