Make use of Sikku Rangoli to enhance coordination and visual skills of kids

The Sikku or knotted points-rangoli uses the part of dot grid unlike the usual rangoli which makes use of all the dots of the grid. Experts in this floor art, draw the patterns freestyles as snake-like lines.

However, for kids, to enhance their visual and coordination skills, I have tried reverse rangoli beginning with shapes first, followed by knotted lines (straight, curved and bent)

Procedure for kids

1. Draw the starting shape

2. Mark the points where the line knots should appear

3. Draw the bending stokes

4. Draw the the lines to complete the pattern
