We made our own rangoli patterns using dyed salt.
We learned about the Taj Mahal and other religious buildings that are in India.
We made diva lamps after learning all about the Festival of Light – Diwali
Skye helped to make home-made playdough and used lentils to make a Mandala style pattern on it.
