Pumpkin Seeds And Paper Plate Mandala Art For Kids
Rangoli (or Mandala) is an art form in which patterns are created on the floor using materials such as colored rice, dry flour, colored sand or flower petals.
Rangoli is usually made to decorate the home on festivals like Diwali and other special occasions. It is said that the Goddess of wealth "Lakshmi" visits people's homes during Diwali. To welcome her, people clean their homes, illuminate their houses with diya (lanterns), set-up colorful garlands on doors, and make colorful rangolis.

In the center, there is a navy blue color wheel with twenty-four spokes, known as the Ashoka Chakra. We have not drawn all the spokes in this craft but children can choose to draw all 24 spokes if they like.

Yarn Handmade Rakhi
Raksha Bandhan, also known as Rakhi, is a Hindu festival that falls on the full moon day of the month of Shravana, usually in August. The word raksha means protection, and bandhan means bond.
Raksha Bandhan is a festival that honors the bond between siblings, which is considered one of the most sacred and enduring relationships in Hindu culture. The festival also reflects the values of respect, care, and gratitude that siblings share. Raksha Bandhan is a time to express love, affection, and appreciation for one's siblings, as well as to pray for their happiness and prosperity.
The main ritual of Raksha Bandhan involves the sister tying a sacred thread, called a rakhi, around the wrist of her brother.
While you can buy rakhi from the market, making your own rakhi can be a more meaningful and creative way to express your feelings. It can also be a fun and easy activity to do with your kids. In this blog post, we are sharing an easy handmade rakhi craft for kids using simple materials that you can find at home or in a craft store.
HOW TO MAKE YARN POM-POM RAKHIS AT HOME?
1. Hold the yarn between your fingers and wrap on your finger lightly 10 to 15 rounds.
2. Then take it out from your fingers and tie it from the centre.
3. Cut the yarn loops from both sides and make it flat from holding it from centre and press it. Cut extra yarn to make a nice and even circle.
4. Decorate the pom-pom as you like. We used a big button in the centre and a small sticky bead on top of the button.
5. Make single or multi-color braided string and tie both ends. Stick the flat yarn pom pom top on it.
And your homemade rakhi is ready to tie.
Making handmade rakhi craft for kids is a fun and easy way to celebrate Raksha Bandhan. It can also be a great way to express your love and creativity. You can make rakhi with any materials you have at home or in a craft store. You can also customize them according to your preferences and style.
We hope you enjoy making and wearing your handmade rakhi. Happy Raksha Bandhan!

Father's Day Craft
Children have a special relationship with their father. While mothers are their emotional anchors, fathers are often their exploration anchors. Being around a father mostly means playtime or crazy fun activity time. All because fathers enjoy nothing else more than seeing a smile on their children's face.
So, this fathers day, we decided to craft one father-child activity special - the high toss. This is one of the most enduring moments for dads and tots. It was fun creating this craft and brought up happy memories for when our toddler was under 2 years and enjoyed soaring through the air only to land in the safe comfort of dad's arms.
So, what's your favorite dad-child activity?
Happy crafting!

Paper Plate Frog With Moving Tongue
Did you know there are over 5000 species of frogs? Or some frogs can jump 20 times their size or that some species like poison dart frogs are poisonous?
Frogs are fascinating animals for everyone but especially for children. They come in so many colors and have quite a few entertaining characteristics. They hop or jump everywhere. They are amphibious - meaning they can live on the land or in the water. That’s a fun ability!
Have you seen a frog eat? They have super long sticky tongues that they use to catch food such as flies or small insects. It’s quite something to watch them go about getting their belly full with just the tongue.
This movement is so fast often the prey doesn't have a chance to escape. A frog's tongue can snap back into its mouth within 15/100ths of a second.
After our popular Chomp Chomp Bunny Craft, we found that frog meal time actually makes for a fun craft activity for preschool children at school, art classes or home.
All you need is a paper plate and basic craft supplies and you are all set to make your very own “Eat Eat Frog Toy”. Have fun and learn too.

My husband loves everything, Ninja. He has watched all episodes and read the manga for over 5 - 7 Japanese shounen series over the last 10 - 12 years. He says that Ninja’s are not just about fighting.
They are about self-discipline and protecting the innocent, which is a great model for kids to learn about.
So, this year on his birthday, we decided to surprise him by making a ninja card! Our daughter then wrote a lovely message inside in her own inimitable style to wish her Papa Ninja. This will make an adorable father's day craft too.
