Mandala Magic No special art supplies? No problem! Mandalas are an art form that can be made of almost anything. Collect several objects of a certain theme. For example: marbles, straws, dice, nail polish bottles, post-it notes, really just about anything. You may also want to take a photo as our Mandalas are not built to last. We have to return to objects during clean up. 🙂 Time: 11:00am Audience: Elementary but all are welcome Instructions: You will need a clean surface to work on and a collection of objects.
