This month marks my one year anniversary since I started making Mandala Loose Parts templates. To celebrate, I want to share how I started, and what I learned along the way.
How Did I Start Making Mandala Loose Parts Templates?
I briefly touched upon this in the Grapat Mandala Templates post, but I really saw a need to create something that would encourage kids to play with the mandala loose parts. At the time, I was into making flat-lays out of wooden loose parts, and I realized that I tapped into a creative space that I thoroughly enjoyed. Creating the templates came naturally, and I enjoyed seeing my kids as well as other kids play with them.
What I Learned?
While the creative process came easy to me, making them in digital format was not. I encountered a number of challenges along the way. One of them is learning how to use new software to create the templates. A number of iterations did not work. It took persistence and numerous tries until I finally succeeded. Although this endeavor was harder than I anticipated, learning that there are families using my templates made it all worthwhile.
