Diwali Art:  

We made rangoli patterns.

We also made divas (light holders) for Diwali. Here are a few photos of us making the salt dough for our divas.

After we put them in the oven we painted them and put some glitter on the divas to make them sparkle.

Our divas look so colourful and sparkly! 

HAPPY DIWALI!
