My daughter designs activity for me!!

Can you believe? 

My daughter designed an activity for me! 

I had a big proud smile on my face...... If you still can't believe, see the snaps here. 


Isn't it a wonder that the child worked out something like this! . So, she is observing, she likes the activities I do with her. I think  so. :) 

It was yesterday afternoon when, Zeel had been telling me multiple times that she had designed activity for me. With a shine in her eyes, with happiness in her heart. That seemed to convey her feeling, that her mother would also love to do an activity. Excitingly, she was trying to highlight how it involves writing ( with sketch pens) and colouring.

After evening playtime, how much ever I asked her to finish her home work first, she was adamant that I finish the activity. ! And I did, enjoying it fully:)

Why I am sharing here in the blog is, for all of us the parents, to take cognizance of the fact that the child loves to learn if its play like, involving things they relish.

What are the basic things that all children love? - colours, hide and seek/ treasure hunt, blind folding, drawing, craft - scissors, glue, color/shining papers, game, dressing up etc. 

So, make learning fun with these elements. Try it! Would love to hear from you!

Feel free to use the learning activity and material shared on my different blog posts.

Colors of my emotions

There are colors of my emotions Do you know? Like pearls in an ocean Do you know? O, how would you? You must look into my heart The acts it performs Reflect various shades of art Come, let's see This palette of colors You and I As we learn with joy. Does it ring the bell on which activity I am talking about? Colors indeed, but not discrete. Few days back, after the last Hindi matra activity, my brain was working around to decide what to take up next. When Zeel and I sat, I shared her my concern about not sure what to do next. She threw a couple of ideas, and in one such thought, happen to mention about making heart shaped chits (looking at her dress), picking the chit and going on treasure hunt for action words. Voila ! It struck a chord within me. Heart represents emotions, colors evoke emotions and the emotions drive actions...............Are you with me? Let's begin ! --------------------------------- ## eleze# 10 The colors of my emotions # Material Used # 1) Heart shaped ...

Seven berries

One day, my daughter Zeel asked why I don’t make EVS worksheets for her. So far, to make learning practice fun for her, I had created worksheets and hands-on activities for English, Hindi and Maths subjects. That’s how my blog site www.nesteleze.blogspot.com was born.  Her question made me thinking. And it was very true. Although I have been a Science student, somehow the EVS topics don’t interest me the way other subjects do, with regards to designing an activity or worksheet. So, in crafting something “different” as per Zeel’s demand, I had to motivate myself to design something for “EVS”. And that’s how SEVEN BERRIES was born. Centered on Zeel’s likes. The names of the friend berries are ingrained in her mind and heart, from the time I had been creating and reciting on the spot stories, more than a year back.  This work is at an infancy stage. So please do pardon me for anything that is not to your child’s liking or interest. But I am sure it won’t be a case!  Check o...

Eight. Elizabeth. Eleze.

Any connection do you see? Who is Elizabeth? Well, she will come into picture. Lets first talk about the beginning word of this writing piece - EIGHT. My daughter Zeel, turned eight recently. Is it a milestone? Hmm...I am not sure. But I do vividly remember her Life Skills teacher mentioning that kids at this age, in class two, want to achieve milestones. They want to make something, create a work by themselves. And, they will come to the parent, show it proudly, expecting an acknowledgement. As parents, we must pause whatever we are doing, look at the child and respond. Do not ignore.  So while she attempts to accomplish certain works (of art I believe, which is her interest area), a thought entered and sat in my mind. Firmly. At eight now, she, my daughter, should embark on the journey of reading children’s books/novels. Since the age of three, we have exposed her to stories. Reading to her not one, two but countless tales. Over the years, she has developed an ear for stories. An...
