Penguin using clay

After a long gap Hari and Sree had some activities with clay.  He had made a penguin as a class project.

Hari and Sree

After a long gap I am posting some snaps of my children.

Camlin contest for making masks

It was very interesting for me to watch Hari, engaged in making mask for his brother. They are preparing for a competition of masks , organised by Camlin. They have to colour it by Camlin crayons. Hari had made a cute mask of cat for Sree. He had made a goggle mask with some laces for him also. My Camera is not in working condition so I am totally disappointed.

Dry leaves chart -Vacation project

The chart with dry leaves. Its a nice time with them. Hari had done all these including the pasting and border drawing. I helped him to identify the names. Sree liked the peepal leaves because its shape remembered him of LOVE.

Its Time for Vacation Project

Hari is busy with his vacation projects. He has to make a chart with pictures of living and non living things. I am very proud to say that he is doing these things in his own way. I had seen lot of parents worrying about their children's dependant nature. We have to give them instructions but allow them to do it as they like. It may not be perfect, but they have to know the pains, frustrations and hard work behind every work. After finishing it they can also enjoy the credit also. In my home Sree is in UKG. So he has no projects and nothing to study. So he is continuously interfearing with the elders work. So I had to give him another project...
Hari's another project is dry leaves collection. He had collected some leaves and they are in the lap of our dictionaries. But he is least interested in Botany. So its my duty to find the names. I like it most, really I want more of these projects.
Some tips on this project are

• Collect leaves



• For drying it we can place it in pages of thick books or we can place it in between newspaper and place a weight on top of it. After 3-4 days change the newspaper and repeat the procedure.



• Then we can paste it on chart paper or in book



• We have to write its name in English, in our language and its scientific name



• Its a nice project to know our nature



• Every leaf is different in its texture, shape and smell.

Its a great pleasure to see our children doing such things and watching them behind. It can not be explained in words. We can join them to accomplish their great tasks and to upbring them as as a nice person. Yes, I am finding great joy in small things, its the title of today's post of my favourite blogger. Please have a look at this worthy post.

Play with kids

'Urumbe urumbe padachattam moottil urumbinu vechirunna palum pazhavum poocha kondupoyi'

It was a nice play with our hands. Its very nice to play with children. Hands are placed once over the other. We have to pinch the other hand just below us. After that singing this song move the hands in circular motion. After the last word abruptly take our hands and tickle others. Its about ants.
