The learning connection
Using tactile materials engages multiple senses, promoting embodied cognition. As children create patterns, they practice symmetry and color combinations, reinforcing their understanding through visual representation and manipulation in their environment.

1. Gather different colored powders (or sand) in small bowls. 2. Choose a flat surface, like a wooden board or ground. 3. Start by drawing a simple outline of your design with chalk. 4. Carefully fill in the outline with different colored powders, creating patterns. 5. Experiment with shapes and color placements. 6. Step back and admire your rangoli — what patterns stand out?
