Gratitude is the energy that makes our life intense and exciting every moment.

ART OF THE DAY:

THREAD PAINTING

MATERIALS NEEDED

Thread of varying length

Different poster colors

Uncolored art sheet or plain sheet.

PROCEDURE

Encourage children to dip the thread in the paint and keep it on the art sheet and fold the art sheet holding firmly on the table with one hand and pull the thread in various directions with the other hand. Ask them to observe the designs and patterns created on the paper.

INFERENCE

Explain to the children that when they closely observe the patterns created by thread painting they can see so many figures in that; but when we just see it as colored paper we cannot observe anything. Similarly miracles are happening around us every moment but we will miss out on everything because we are not expressing gratitude

ACTIVITY OF THE DAY

ACTIVITY OF THE DAY KALEIDOSCOPE

MATERIALS NEEDED ✓ Kaleidoscope

PROCEDURE Show how to hold the kaleidoscope and then by shutting one eye, how we have to view it. As we keep on turning the kaleidoscope we can see different designs that are formed with different colors. Inside the kaleidoscope there are small pieces of colored glass and the pieces are reflected in the mirror forming the designs as patterns.

CONCLUSION When we change our view into a positive mode we can make life beautiful. When we start feeling grateful for small things, our whole sensitivity will increase we will become refined.
