Rangoli designs are made in India, primarily by the women, and decorate the entryway into a home. Kindof a welcome mat. They can be made of dyed rice, flowers, etc., and can be swept away to make room for a new one!
The kindergarten students loved looking at all of the pictures we found on the internet of Rangolis. The designs are so varied, intricate, and simple. Beautiful.
We made our own Rangoli designs. I made a simple grid and photocopied it so that the girls could get some ideas. Then they drew their designs on large butcher paper, working on the floor, just like they would if they were in India.
They used white tempera paint and then added color.
Some turned out so well and so vibrant.
We hope you feel welocomed as you view our Rangoli designs!
