How it works
The Mandala set is fantastic for encouraging the development of fine motor skills, concentration and self confidence as children get creative with. It is easy to use, you just pop a sheet of paper between the drawing frame and the template, and it is ready for drawing around the shapes. You then turn the stencil inside the base tray and draw again. To make it easy to use each stencil is marked with arrows, which allows you to rotate the stencil inside the frame one sixteenth of a rotation. This unique mechanism helps you to create some lovely symmetrical designs. Once you’ve finished drawing, you can then color the designs in with the colouring pencils that are included and you have it – a finished mandala design! You can even cut around the design and use your unique mandalas to decorate anything from placemats, photo frames and gift boxes to book covers and party favours. With an infinite number of possible designs that can be created, Mandala-Designer® will accompany your child on a brightly coloured journey of imagination and creation.
Putting it to the Test
Ben has been loving playing with the Mandala. He has made special presents for his friends using it who loved all the Peppa Pig, hearts, suns and other shapes he used. It has definitely held his concentration and the results are fantastic. The chunky marker it comes with is perfect for little hands to draw around the shapes. Ben really enjoys using the Mandala and has created some superb masterpieces to be proud of so we definitely give it a thumbs up.
