Easy dot rangoli designs

30 simple rangoli designs on an 11×11 grid of dots, each with step-by-step pictures and a count of how many dots of each colour you need. Every one has four lines of symmetry, so you draw one side and copy it.

Make your own rangoliTap or drag, and every dot is mirrored eight ways.

How to draw a dot rangoli

Start with a grid of dots in chalk. Fill the centre, then work outward one square ring at a time. Because the pattern repeats on all four sides and along the diagonals, you only ever have to design one eighth of it. That's also why rangoli is a favourite way to teach lines of symmetry in Class 6 and 7.
