This book has 47 pages with different types of Paisley outline shape templates where children may fill in the traditional designs that are also included.

Paisley Patterns were created by Ancient Indians and were inspired by raw mangoes or Kairi as called in Hindi because of their shape. Mangoes ripen mostly in Summers and Monsoons in India.

Let children use their creativity to experiment as much as they want to.

You will be surprised to see their new ideas.

Materials to be used: Pencils, sketch pens, fibre tip pens, gel pens, markers, pointed color pencils.

Let the children decide the colors.

You may also give them Paisley outline templates on colored paper for a beautiful look.

Paisley patterns are pretty popular now and can be painted or printed on cards, wallpapers, gift wrapping papers, bags, clothes, shoes, tiles, Henna, Tattoos, furnishings and much more.

Children will improve their focus, patience, creativity and thinking ability at the same time enjoying Art.

These templates are great for early finishers as well as an enriching Art Project. :)
