Yes, these are kolam design made by young girls and boys!
When it comes to joining the dots and making a kolam, kids are not less creative than their mothers!
The art of dispensing the kolam powder through the fingers and making designs on the ground starts from a design drawn on a sheet of paper. That is the reason we thought of a kolam drawing competition on a paper for kids.
A set pattern of dots were given to the kids and they were asked to create a design of their own.
Butterflies, conches, roses, stars, flags, elephants are all that they made out of the dots!
Among many young girls were four boys who drew their bright and colourful kolams.

I am the mother of one of the participants. The competition encourages children to learn the art of kolam. The dots given were simple and apt for the age of the kids. A very good idea. Next time you can include the chain patterns which are more challenging. The age group can also be higher for chain patterns.
Thanks for the suggestion.
You can see all the chain designs drawn on the north mada street on Jan. 24 and 25. Not by kids through.
