Instead of joining any summer camp, spend your valuable time with your children. Summer vacation is the best time in the whole year where you can do plenty of things of your kids choice. They also need our precious time do try to  play with them as much as you can.😊

Just try to be happy with them 😐which is quite difficult, even I am trying to do this. Give me your ides regarding this in the comment section.

Let's see, how can we enjoy this vacation in easy peesy way!!!

Do arrange some getaway with cousins and relatives. Allow child to play with  mud or sand, collect sea shell, create a sand castle. Give them ample opportunity for creativity.

Go for cycling with them. Do you remember last time when you cycle? Just grab one cycle for you and do the racing with your kids.

Join any swimming classes for kid and if possible for you also.

Do colouring or painting with them. If you still do not like to draw or paint, just sit with them and you will also feel to draw or paint like a small kid. Do try this and tell me what do you sketch or paint?

Enroll your kids for singing , dancing or any other musical instrument class. Try to join yourself also with them. Music is one of the best meditation ever.

Do gardening with your kids. Ask them to plant a seed. Every child love to play with mud and clay. Give them real experience and ask them to water the seed every day on a particular time. Let them enjoy and learn how the plant grow from the seed.

Please allow them to have their own ideas through the play. Play time should be constructive and not to be instructive. Allow screen time only for a limited hour. Do some scientific experiments with big kids. 

Last but not the list , take your kids at native place. This will be one of the best recreation for them. Let them explore  village and farm life. Instead of spending a huge money for any resort, our native place is the best and most important....it will cost nothing to your pocket.

The list will go on and on...

what will be your vacation ideas?

Netflix : Best series for Kids

Love love love...….NETFLIX….!! How many of you like me, who always hang on Netflix. Yup, there is good web series for adults but yes I am hung up only on kids section.  There is good range of series available for Bachcha Party…!! Yes…you are right….there are so many movies and series for small kiddos which we adult too adore it. May be some of you know already….!

You will be laughing on me if I say, I am watching kids section 😄 but honestly I do love watch cartoons. Today I am sharing with you the most top rated series for bachcha party according to me….ahhh according to us!! Let’s jump in to the post... 

Disclaimer: My daughter is 5 years old so we are watching as per her taste. All the series are under the age group of 3 to 5 years.  

1.       WORD PARTY

This is one of the best series which WE love very much. If you want your child’s vocabulary should increase, do try to watch this with your little one. 

The program is for 3 to 5 years old.   Four babies who are teaching different kinds of word and after learning each pattern of word, they have “WORD PARTY”. Yes, they are dancing and singing after learning each word. For Example – “Profession” – Painter, Teacher, scientist etc. They will teach this word with the sequence. You will love to watch.

This is LULU…..my favorite character. Child will also learn that there is some specific time to do some specific work like, during sleeping time you have to sleep, at snacks time you have to eat snacks and at playtime you have to play. During these activities, these four kids if not able to recognize particular word, and then “WORDWALLY” comes to help them.  They learn the whole new set of vocabulary.

I will strongly recommend this cartoon series for your small one which really helps to build up the vocabulary. Even you can show this cartoon below 3 years too.

2.       BARBIE – “LIFE IN THE DREAMHOUSE”

Who don’t love Barbie…? I still love them. It is not because of my daughter but yes as a girl I also have same feeling for Barbie which my daughter has. This is one of the best series, but they still not updated the new episode. We love to watch the same season 1, again and again.

The Barbie who lives in her dream house with her 3 sisters and KEN her boyfriend always helps her. There is one bad character “RACCQUEL” who always wanted to compete with Barbie, but Barbie’s good nature always win. 

It tells the kids how to be good with others. Though it is doll, everything is automatic but yes it penetrated whatever is the situation be good with other, and always do good to others.

Do watch with your girl’s kid especially for fashion and accessories.😎

3.       PEPPA PIG

This is one of the best shows.  Almost every child who watch this, learn the Peppa Accent …yes or no mommy? Tell me in the comment section.  This is one of the shows where your children learn to speak a whole sentence with accurate grammar.

Peppa live with her family in small house. The way our children have daily life, the same way Peppa has….like…going to school, going to picnic, visit grandpa and granny , birth-day party, playground…etc. There is one narrator who narrates the situation.

These are the best series according to me which teach only good things. No magic, no hate, no fighting, no violence, nothing. It gives only good values and more over it increase your child’s vocabulary and particularly grammar. You can also watch if you want to learn to talk in English 😀

Do allow screen time during this vacation at least 1 hour by splitting in 30 minutes. Do try to watch TV with your kids. The best part of NETFLIX is they do not have advertisement during any series. Children love to watch it.

What should I write ? People from our community knows each and everything about him. If you really want to thankful to him....." DO FOLLOW HIS WORD FOR YOURSELF NOT TO SHOW OFF TO THE SOCIETY"

It is "HE", because of who "TODAY WE HAVE A SPACE IN THIS SOCIETY" DO NOT FORGET THIS, AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUR ACT SHOULD NOT DISRESPECT  HIM"

But the sad thing that "YES, TILL TODAY IN SOME PLACES UNTOUCHABILITY IS PRACTICE, STILL THE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO ENTER IN A TEMPLE. THERE ARE SOME PLACES WHERE WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER. WE ARE STILL NOT GET HIGHER POST IN OFFICES.

I had an experience of this till in 2019. I hope that will change one day. 

Anyway, I am herewith sharing with you how we celebrate this festival. Because there are many people who still do not know why and how this festival is celebrated. This is one of the biggest festival for us. There are various kind of celebration carried out on this day to give out the tribute to Dr. Ambedkar. I am sharing with you how celebration is carried out from 12.00 am of the previous day up to 10.00pm on next day. 

Celebration began from 13th April @ 12.00 am. Ambedkar Jayanti procession carried out by his followers in each state, each region and each galli. (lane).

Procession preceded by dhol- tasha music, blue coloured flag, The truck is decorated with flowers , garland on the photo frames of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. Songs were played in praise of Ambedkar. Every single followers with 'WHITE COLOURED OUTFIT"gathered at the statue of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar for prayer meet.

The celebration of this festival at home is also a unique. Those who are not able to join the procession, can do the prayer at home at 12.00 a.m. sharp. We used to do from our childhood.

Next day, Rangoli is drawn in front of the door and we girls love to have mehandi.😊

We always make a sweet dish.Some people also host the blue coloured flag on the gallery or window. Kheer with Puri is essential meal that every home have on this day.

There are lots of programmes are carried out in each society, banks, offices....almost everywhere. 

You will got to see this kind of hoarding all over India.

Programme of the day

drawing competition for small kiddos.....

Also each society have some orchestra, dance and music competition too. It is been so long, the way we celebrated in our childhood, it is the same way we still celebrated and this will be continue to the next generation.

My appeal to everyone :
 KEEP THE Gratitude AND RESPECT TO OUR FATHER "DR. BHIMRAO AMBEDKAR".
TRY TO TRANSFER THE SAME WITH OUR YOUNGER GENERATION, BUT DO NOT TRANSFER THE "HATE" TOWARDS OTHER RELIGION. DO TRY TO SPREAD ONLY "LOVE" WHATEVER IS THE SITUATION.

THEN ONLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO BRING PEACE IN THE SOCIETY. 
FOLLOW BUDDHISIM...!!

Holi Activities for small kid

I am back with lots of Holi Activity. Holi is one of the biggest festivals celebrated everywhere and by everyone. I love our all festivals because it brings lot of joy and happiness. People gather to celebrate festivals of each religion and each cast which denotes the unity in diversity.

I am here to share with you some activities which you can do with your child to improve his studies.  All this activities are especially for the age group of 3 to 5 years.

Activities have following benefit:

1.  It gives joy to your child that his parents spending time with them.

2.  You can teach them about our culture and festivals.

3.  You can use any activity to increase his or her study interest.

4.   It helps to increase the concentration.

5. Activities help to improve bilateral coordination.

I am sharing some activity which we did for this month. I denoted these as a Holi Activity. I love to prepare variety of activity as per the festival or season. Check out the link here for valentine activity: https://www.memoryflies.com/2019/02/valentine-activities.html

#we prepare a banner of ‘HAPPY HOLI’ by using the scrap paper. I drew triangle shape and asked her to cut and write each alphabet on each triangle.  Cutting a paper along with line require eye and hand coordination. 

Increase memory power while writing alphabet on each triangle so as to make the word “HAAPY HOLI”. Your kid will also learn new word “happy holi”

#Drew some rectangle and triangle shaped on this craft paper, ask her to cut it and make a ‘PICHAKARI’. She made it by herself by attaching each shape. Drew some extra bubbles. These improve the kid’s imagination power.

#I drew dotted line of this ‘HOLI BONFIRE’ then she joined all the dots and colour it.  Colouring is one of the favorite activities of each child. These require concentration for joining dots and colouring without spreading the colour.

Those child have concentration problem do use this kind of activity.

Tips :

*Never guide your child – do this, use this colour, draw like this etc. Just wait   and watch his creativity and appreciate him or her by saying “Wow…..so good”.

*Do not criticize him or her instead always encourage them.

*Always allow them to use the imagination power.

You can share the story of Bonfire if your child is more than 6 years old. Ahhh…😊 I did not share any story of “HOLI”as she is not yet ready to understand. Only explain the festival of holi celebrated by bonfire.

She asked why people played with holi? I simply replied, it is for fun. Festivals are used to celebrate for joy and happiness. That's it! I think we must have to share this thought with small kids.

#Exams time is there and so we did some word power activity using this Holi Theme. Let me show you some study related activities:

Word Families: My child gets confused with these words. I use this activity to improve her word power.

This is Holi (bonfire) with “U” word family. The game is to keep your “U” word picture card upside down and ask the child to identify the word on bonfire with the picture and write the initial letter.

#another one is with small pichakari “O” word family word. The game is same as above. Only difference is I drew some bubbles which are coming out from the pichakari.

Do try this at home. It will improve your child vocabulary, spelling power and memory power.

#opposite matchup: Children get bored with same match up so to make it more interesting I wrote this opposite word in bubble form and keep it plain. If child want to colour it, they can colour it and complete the match up. Finding the word from such word collage and join those with line actually have lots of fun. We both enjoyed a lot.

#Last one is the rhyming word. As simple as she can understand.

All these study activities sheets are available in PDF form with free of cost. You can use this sheet for different kind of activity.

Thank you for stopping by!
