The purpose of this study is to investigate the therapeutic meaning of the circle based on the development of children's drawing, the scribbling stage, in creating mandala. While the study of creating mandala tended to get the result through the psychological test, this study tried to find out the meaning of the circle, the central form of mandala, based on the scribbling stage in children's drawing. The starting point of the study was that the circle might have the closer relevance with the experiences of early childhood and drawing and therapeutic roles based on the theory of Egger's scribbling stage.
