tart with simple patterns using only two or three colors and gradually increase the number of colors and difficulty. Give your child a set of color pencils and a black and white outline of the Mandala.
Ask your child to mark in the colors – just a line showing where each color should be will suffice. Your child can color in the Mandala later as a coloring activity. Check the colors off against the original Mandala to see if they are marked correctly
The second part to this exercise is intended for older children. Give your child a blank sheet of paper and the color pencils again. Flash the Mandala pattern three times for 10 seconds each time, then cover it. Ask your child to draw out the pattern and add the colors. Reveal the original Mandala pattern and see if the Mandala your child has drawn is the same.
PS: Children may use: color pencil or puzzle way to complete the task.
