Remember reading @amarchitrakatha books extensively as kids? Somehow this generation of kids are not much into reading these kind of Indian comics based on our country's religion, legends, mythology and historical figures. 
The other day when we got an opportunity to visit a book store after ages, I saw Little Biryani picking up three of the books from the mentioned publisher. On asking she said, "Maa I have often heard you talking about tales from Amar Chitra Katha and so I thought of giving it a try." On returning home she finished all three books in a day as she loved the concept of the comic strips and the pictures which are used to narrate the stories. Isn't it a great feeling to see the kids liking something which is not only part of our growing up years, also something which informs them of our brilliant culture and history in such simple yet elaborate manner! 
Do try buying #amarchitrakatha  books for your little one next time.

ACTIVITY WITH ELMER THE PATCHWORK ELEPHANT !!!

..

Kiaan is in love with Elmer series currently and we decided to recreate and do a fun number and colour matching activity.. it's a simple activity but got him excited as he was making Elmer himself 

..

The book is by @David McKee and is recommended for kids aged 3+ years

..

I Would recommend you to read the first book of the series titled Elmer initially because it lays the foundation of introducing Elmer who is unique and different from his herd. His body has lovely and beautiful colours making him stand from the crowd.

..

This book focuses about all the Elephant celebrate Elmer's day by organising an Elephant Parade !!!

..

Well Kiaam and I did a number and colour match here,There are many ways to recreate the activity I did, you can do the activity in following ways too

➡️ Make use of play dough

➡️ Stickers or Craft based

➡️ Make use of Magna Tiles or Blocks
