Exploring the Power of Mandalas and the Animal Spirit Connection

We delved into the enchanting world of mandalas and the profound bond between animals and spirituality. Each child chose an animal close to their heart and beautifully recreated the outline of its paws on watercolour paper.

With an array of symbols, shapes and lines, the children designed their unique paw mandalas, infusing them with their chosen animal’s essence. The next step was outlining the paws with sharpie markers and applying vibrant watercolours to bring their personal masterpieces to life. But it didn’t stop there! 

Our creative journey sparked heartfelt conversations about the significance of treating animals with respect and kindness. We brainstormed ways to support animal rescues and sanctuaries, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding the well-being of all living creatures. 

It’s crucial to instil in our children a deep reverence not only for themselves and others but also for the natural world. Together, we are nurturing a generation that understands the value of respect for every living being, from the most majestic animals to the tiniest insects, and the precious environment that sustains us all. 

All art classes and workshops can be altered to meet any grade level or expectation.
