Transforming Power Templates
Below are some templates for Transforming Power Keys and Mandalas.
Key Preparation Guide
- Print or copy the key templates onto letter-sized colored card of the recommended colors
- If you are going to laminate them, use colored paper rather than colored card
- Cut out each key around the outline
- Laminate each key
- Trim each key, leaving a sealed margin around the key
Variations
- If laminating facilities are not available,
use card or heavy paper, or glue paper onto cardboard.
- If you have the appropriate equipment and resources,
you can enlarge the copy to produce a larger key.
- If you have the appropriate equipment,
you can produce robust laminated keys trimmed to the key outline.
(See

of Learning Aids)
- A blank template is provided if the wording of a key needs to be changed.
Instructions for Hot Laminating of Learning Aids
If you have the use of a laminator adjustable to a hot setting of 150 to 160,
you can produce laminated keys trimmed to the key outline.
- Use 125 micron film (80 micron will crinkle or jam in the laminator).
- Use 80gsm plain paper (200gsm card is not needed for stiffness).
- Laminate film does not bond well on shiny, glossy, or photo paper,
so photocopy or print onto plain paper before laminating
- Laminate the keys using 125 micron film at 150-160 heat setting
- Trim the keys to the key outline using sharp quality scissors.
A similar process can be applied to other learning aids such as mandalas,
mandala segments, Broken Squares, Broken Cubes, and Puzzling sets.
