How we can help
Kolam, ready for your children
Two programmes, one promise: every child draws a complete kolam, every session — with everything a teacher or volunteer needs, ready-made.
For schools
A festival-season programme for kindergarten
- 8 weeks, one period a week — August through Ganesh Chaturthi, timed so the finale lands on the festival.
- One full kolam every week — starting simple, growing with each child's pace.
- Real KG outcomes — fine-motor control for pre-writing, focus and calm, early pattern-and-symmetry thinking, cultural roots.
- A certificate every week — small, steady encouragement.
- A festival finale — children draw for the school celebration; parents see what little hands have learned.
What we bring: step-by-step animated decks (any teacher can run them — no kolam experience needed), practice boards and chalk, take-home cards, certificates, and a short teacher orientation.
What we ask: one period a week, a classroom with a screen, and a teacher to facilitate.
Flexible formats: the full 8-week journey, a festival fortnight, or a single taster session with one class.
For apartment communities
A weekend series for the children of your building
- 8 Saturday mornings — about an hour each, in your community hall.
- Co-led with residents — the mothers and grandmothers who have drawn kolam all their lives, teaching alongside us.
- One kolam a week, a certificate a week — visible progress children (and parents) can hold.
- Mess-free — boards and chalk indoors; rangoli colours only for the finale.
- A shared finale — every child's kolam becomes part of one beautiful entrance rangoli.
What we bring: the decks, boards, chalk, take-home cards, certificates, posters, and a simple signup — the whole kit.
What we ask: the community hall for an hour a week, and a note of welcome from your association.
Capped small so every child gets attention.
A typical session
Thirty joyful minutes
A one-line story
Why kolam is drawn — welcome, fresh starts, feeding the ants.
Watch it build
The week's kolam draws itself on screen, one stroke at a time.
Little hands draw
Every child draws the same kolam on a practice board with chalk.
Take it home
A practice card goes home — many children draw again at their doorstep.
“Give us forty minutes with one class.
If the children light up, we take it from there.”
