3 Fun suggestions to teach children about Dussehra

In October / November months, the festivities are on its peak!
Dussehra or Vijayadashami is one such festival which the country celebrates with great zeal and enthusiasm. But to celebrate Dussehra with great pomp and shows, one must know the importance of Dussehra to celebrate the very essence of this festival.

Dussehra: Dasha-hara, meaning ‘remover of bad fate’.

Simply, it’s like a small carnival to celebrate the win of good over the evil and truth over lies.

Regardless of it being a Hindu festival, India is a land of festivals where people forget their own caste, creed, and other such features to cherish the spirit of brotherhood. And the hype that surrounds Dussehra needs to be experienced, once in a lifetime to stricken with the festive fever.
Amidst this hype we are trying to increase the joy a bit more by creating different activities. Currently a competition on Dussehra theme is running on our site.

Different Things Kids can do this Dussehra:        

Making Rangoli:
Rangoli is a very beautiful and effective way to represent the happiness and joy. Rangoli is one such art form which kids of every age love. In general kids are fond of colours and like to play with them often. Making Rangoli is one such craft which anyone of any age appreciates. You can start with helping them to distinguish between mediums used to make rangolis, different colours, shapes, etc. You can slowly help them to realise the different shape and designs with rangoli colours leading them to make a masterpiece from their imagination.

Creative Story Telling:
Kids love stories, who does not want to hear about unimagined actions, super terrifying villains, beautiful tales of a princess, and at last having goosebumps when good wins over evil in the stories. With all the vivid imagination let them make stories this time, based on which the future drawing competitions will also be held, for the time being let them write and speak their heart out.

Giving Gifts to Loved Ones:
Self-made gifts never gets old. Let’s make a jar ‘a jar of happiness’ in which a handwritten letter for each family member is their so whenever one feels low the jar can bring happiness again.
