The learning connection
The use of colored materials for rangoli stimulates visual learning and memory retention through dual coding. As children visualize patterns and arrange colors, they enhance their creativity and critical thinking, aligning with Bruner's CPA approach by letting them create before formalizing rules.
Try it with your learner
1. Gather colored rice or sand in 5 different colors. 2. Choose a flat surface to create your rangoli. 3. Draw a simple outline of your desired pattern with chalk. 4. Fill in the outline with the colored rice or sand, using your fingers. 5. Experiment by mixing colors in certain areas to create new shades. 6. Share your rangoli design with family — what does it symbolize?
