Free Diwali Rangoli Template | Foundation | Art | BookFlik
Bring the magic of Diwali into your classroom with our engaging Art diwali rangoli template eyfs core resource. Designed specifically for children aged 3-5, this creative pack helps little ones explore the beautiful tradition of Rangoli while developing vital fine motor skills and an understanding of patterns.
In this activity, children will learn about the significance of Diwali, the festival of lights, and why families create colourful, symmetrical patterns to welcome guests. By using our Art diwali rangoli template eyfs core, children can practise their pencil control, colour recognition, and spatial awareness. Zara the zebra, our resident art expert, encourages the children to look for geometric shapes and repeating patterns in the designs, helping them to connect their creative work to early mathematical concepts.
Teachers can use this versatile resource in various ways. It serves as an excellent independent activity for the creative arts area, a focused small-group task, or a collaborative mural project. The template is perfect for exploring different textures; children can fill their patterns with coloured sand, rice, dried lentils, or even natural objects like flower petals and leaves to create a sensory experience.
This resource is fully aligned with the Australian Curriculum (ACARA) for Foundation, specifically supporting the Expressive Arts and Design and Mathematics (Shape, Space and Measure) learning goals. This specific pack is aimed at the core level of development, ensuring that learners at the expected standard can confidently engage with the task while being challenged to create intricate, symmetrical designs.
Our Art diwali rangoli template eyfs core includes five key questions to spark discussion:
1. What colours can you see in your Rangoli pattern?
2. Can you find a circle or a triangle in your design?
3. Why do people make these patterns during Diwali?
4. How can we make our pattern look the same on both sides?
5. Which natural materials could we use to decorate our art?
