The Lowenfeld Mosaics

Margaret Lowenfeld developed the Lowenfeld Mosaics to allow children to express themselves with simple geometric shapes and colours. She called it, ‘the personality in action’. The Lowenfeld Mosaics were always used during the first session and last session as a form of assessment. But some children also liked to use it in every session as a form of expression.
