Rangoli Design Ideas for Kids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Rangolis are special patterns made usually from rice flour and sugar or materials such as cereals, pulses, grains, sand or beads. They combine dots, lines, flower designs to create colorful designs on the ground in homes in India and throughout the world, especially at Diwali time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The motifs used are usually taken from nature or geometric patterns using lines and shapes, drawn around a grid of dots. Rangolis are particularly popular around festivals such as Diwali – the Hindu festival of light<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

How to Make Rangoli Art Designs with Kids<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
1. Place Salt<\/a> into ziplock bags and then squirt in two drops of Food Coloring <\/a>. Shake the bag until all of thesalt is colored. Continue until you have made all of your desired colors. Allow to coloring to dry before using for best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Apply small thin layer of glue onto the Rangoli design that you have drawn or printed. Then sprinkle the desired colored salt onto the areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
*If you’re applying to the ground just simply design and the sweep up once complete after the festival, no glue needed.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n3. Apply glue to additional areas once you’ve applied the first color. Continue until you have filled all of the rangoli art design in. You can blow any additional colored sand off in between colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Allow image to dry. Mount onto recycled cardboard for additional support. When complete this is a fragile piece of art. However, it provides such an opportunity to develop fine motor skills and an appreciation of Indian culture it’s so worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n

Printable Rangoli Designs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We used a printable version<\/a>of a Rangoli as a beginner for my kids. On our sidewalk and doorway for Diwali though we do use some Rangoli stencils<\/a> and also I have my kids create their own designs with sidewalk chalk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take a peek on Pinterest to see all the gorgeous way to create your own Rangoli<\/a> or see a few video tutorials of hand made rangoli designs<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n
