Holi Craft at home

Today was festival of colours so we decided to make some craft on it.

The idea struck to paint a t-shirt with handprints  but the same excercise was done in his school, He wanted something different.
So we took his crayons make their shavings with sharpener and collected lots of them of different colours. Then arranged them over his t-shirt in a hearth shape. Now we put a paper on it and iron over it. Voila a new printed shirt was ready.




























He wanted something more so this time on the back side of t-shirt we made a nice picture of earth. and along with picture wrote a message of Go Green, This way the child learned to craft along with a save environmenta message delivered.





 Then we took out shavings of green colour crayon arranged them over the picture of earth forming a pattern of map. Then with the shavings of blue colour we surrounded the are along the map and the border of earth to mark as ocean. Now we put a butter paper over it and iron carefully over the picture and slowly pull off the paper from the t-shirt.






 The same procedure repeated after putting shavings of green colour over the message of Go Green. Ironing over the letters with a paper kept in between. and a nice message t-shirt was ready.


The paper also gets impression of the print so be careful not press the printed part anywhere on the t-shirt.








This way your child learns to participate be more creative, takes time off tv, also get aware of our planet earth. You can try many other pictures and let your child participate by taking out the shavings , arranging them carefully on the picture in the set pattern. This way the child's fine motor skills are enhanced. Colour sensing , colour coordination, imagination and creativity also improves.
