Wominjeka Everyone,

 

 

“Last Week, in our OSHC program, we introduced the children to Holi, a vibrant festival celebrated in India and Nepal. On Tuesday, we watched a video and explained during roll call that Holi signifies the arrival of spring and is joyously celebrated with colours, music, and delicious foods.

 

To immerse the children in the spirit of Holi, we organized a hand-painting activity. This hands-on experience allowed them to explore and play with colours, mirroring the festival's essence. The children expressed immense excitement and curiosity during the activity. Some of their enthusiastic remarks included, "I love the texture of the colours!" and "This is so much fun!" Their eagerness was evident as many requested to engage in hand-painting more frequently. Recognizing their interest, we plan to incorporate more opportunities for them to explore colours and creativity in future sessions.

This celebration not only introduced the children to a significant cultural festival but also provided a platform for sensory exploration and creative expression.” - Laxmi Adhikari
