Using mandalas in work with preschoolers

Larisa Tkachenko


The children looked at them for a long time, admired them. One of my pupils said that when she looks at this pattern, she wants to dream. The kids got interested and wanted to draw some kind of ornament themselves. So the idea of ​​a collective work.

We needed a sheet of Whatman paper with a previously drawn circle and an ornament applied in it. I'll do a little clarification: for middle-aged children, the ornament should be large and easy to paint over with the finger of a child's hand.


Children can clearly see how this or that ornament appears.

also in work used individual trays with pre-filled gouache paints, brushes. It is also necessary to prepare napkins and wet rags.

So, let's start coloring.

Children paint mandala, starting from the center, with the pad of the index finger.

Gradually moving from fragment to fragment and using children painted over the ornament in various colors.

Now children apply patterns with a brush.

In today's lesson, we got this mandala.
