There are also mazes and a few other open-ended questions.<\/p>\n<p>Our thought in creating these is we wanted something simple for students to work on that would be relaxing. The process of coloring the designs contained on the mats and creating patterns can be a calming process.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, for students who might be overwhelmed by the designs, a blank piece of paper might be a good option. Some students might prefer to simply draw or doodle instead of having a preprinted page.<\/p>\n<p>To complete these mats, we suggest students have access to colored pencils or fine tipped markers.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">You can download these free wizard focus mats for students here:<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/pdf\/classroommanagement\/wizard%20focus%20mats.pdf\">Mats for Students<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Looking for the original set?
