3. To easily pour the rangoli powder onto the chalk outline, roll a piece of newspaper into a cone, snip a hole in the narrow end, and fill the hole with the powder. show the children how to Use their finger as a stopper to control the flow from the cone. follow the borders first before filling the design.
