Around the World: India

Our next stop on our journey around the world is India.  India was big hit with my class last year and this year was the same, they loved it! They loved learning about Diwali, peacocks, hendi tattoos, and so on.  To start off here was my display for India:
I had two saris, a stuffed peacock, a doll dressed in a sari, peacock feathers, a neat book/kit on Henna tattoos, a little Genesh statue, a diwali lamp, and an elephant figurine.

One of the things the kids liked the best were the rangoli designs.  The students loved seeing the beautiful rangoli designs I found on the internet and we then went outside to do our own.  We used sidewalk chalk instead of rice or sand and the kids had fun.  Here are some pictures of them:



 
I will update with more pics later.  Next up- Holidays around the world!
