Last week, we let the our children to "make" their own coloured rice, and this week, it's time for them to stick the coloured rice on the Rangoli ( kolam ) pattern.

Due to our child's age, teacher has pre-draw the Rangoli pattern for the children.  So now,  it's up to them to decorate the Rangoli with the coloured rice.

First, apply some glue on the paper.  Then choose a colour and sprinkle on it.  Slowly and steadily.

Happy Deepavali Part I

In conjuction of Deepavali ( Diwali ) Festival, this week, teacher has introduced the history of Deepavali to children.  Deepavali which also known as Festival of Light are celebrated by Hindus. Deepavali is celebrated for five days according to the Hindu Calendar.  They will light up the diya ( oil lamp) around the house, eat Sheera ( type of dessert ), Lapsee ( type of sweet porridge ) Kheer ( type sweet pudding ) during Deepavali.  They will decorate Rangoli ( also known as Kolam ) which make by coloured rice, sand or salt in front of their house to welcome the visitors.

After the lesson, our children are ready to make their Rangoli now:)
