Who says math has to be boring!? Whether those mysterious, strange and eerie cropcircle marvels that appear overnight in wheat and barley fields are "real," (imprints of alien spacecraft UFO's), or stamped into the fields by human hoaxers in the dead of night, does not alter the fact that Crop Circles can be impressive works of art (AKA wheat graffiti) and worthy of a few earnest oohs and awes.
Crop "circles" are most often intricate and complex geometric patterns. You don't need to disturb a local farmer's crops in order to create a child-sized crop circle. Crop circles, mazes and labyrinths can easily be made using chalk sticks on a playground surface, or with sleds and snow shoes in freshly fallen snow or on a broad sandy surface.
Save a crop circle image to your PC and pre-color with your art program. Print the crop circle image on window decal material to create an ornament or window display!
Use fun crop circle mandala designs and other coloring book pages for relaxation and entertainment purposes. Great for making refrigerator magnets, window decals and iron-on transfers.
Cropcircle designs can easily be used to help teach geometric symmetry to children K-12 because most Crop Circles seem to be created using combinations of basic mathematical symbols such as abstract representation of pi and ratios of circle.
