Kids Nature Mandalas

Some were friends, some had never met. Some weeks the kids were all the same age, other weeks it was a bit of a difference. But none of that mattered. From the very first day, they were shown how to work together, communicate, design, build, create, redesign because the wind blew, let go once it was done and be proud they were able to bring a smile to a strangers face, even if they weren't there to see it. I think the best part was that they were unplugged. There was no i-device to arrange flower petals and leaves. The mandalas were creations all their own (sometimes starting the centers would need some inspirational help), and occasionally a passer by would thank the kids for the beauty they created. Now I will share that beauty with you.... Enjoy.
