Flower Mandalas on the Light Table {Light & Reflections Series}

We haven't been playing with our light table as often as we used to, especially as the weather warms up, but one rainy day, we were able to sneak in some simple flower themed light table play. The boys created colorful flower mandalas on the light table using free printable flower templates. And they turned out lovely!

Flower Themed Light Table Activity for Kids

For this activity, we used:

• Glass stones in a variety of colors
• Free printable flower template (you can download it at the end of this post)

I printed the flower templates on normal printer paper, but vellum or printable transparencies would be great alternatives if you have them on hand. I then set out the materials like so:

Five year old J went straight for the yellow stones and declared that he was going to make a sunflower. Well, he eventually ran out of yellow stones and ended up with the most colorful sunflower ever!

K ended up making a very Christmas colored flower. I was surprised at how much he loved this simple light table invitation.

What kind of flowers will your kids create?
