Activity 25- Thread mirror painting.
Playing with colours not only enhances the gross and fine motor skills of a child but also his power of imagination and creativity. This time we used the household sewing white thread.
Steps:

1. Take water colours or poster colours in a colour palette.

2. Take the thread roll and cut a substantial amount of it. 

3. Dip the thread loops into the colour and put the coloured loop on the top of the half folded paper.

4. Make sure the remaining white end portion of the thread is out of the paper at the bottom.

5. Repeat the step 3 and 4 as per your design or requirement.

6. After all the threads are on paper, fold the other half on it and gently press it on the top.

7. Slowly move all the threads ends together waving and rotating as you pull all of them out of the folded paper.

8. Open the paper and enjoy the beautiful creativity made from the threads and colours. #rashigoelphysio  #rashig  #threadpainting  #homeschooling  #keepingkidsbusy  #learningathome  #learningthroughplay  #earlychildhoodlearning  #indianmommyblogger  #funactivitiesforkids  #montessorikids  #preschooleractivity  #instakid  #preschoolactivities  #engagingactivities  #toddleractivitiesathome

Among all the outside precautions somehow we again forgot our stay at home Moms who are a constant reminder for their husbands, children and families. So here I come up with few of the safety measures and precautions we can follow at our home which can not only secure a safer place to live in but also a healthier and regular habit to follow in future.
1. Clean your TV, AC, heater, stereo remotes. If you have put a transparent cover kindly remove it and clean it with a wipe or tissue and replace it back. Clean the remotes as well in the same way.
2. The most widely used item none other than your mobile phones and landlines or intercoms. Please please remove the covers if any and clean the phones with tissue or wipes.
3. Clean the inside of your car. Whenever we go anywhere we step out of our car and again after coming in contact with so many outside things we again sit inside the car. So it's utmost essential to clean the car seats, doors, handles, car keys, etc. Same goes for a two wheeler too 
4. Get up and clean your house keys, key rings attached, door knobs of all the doors and almirahs and balconies and sinks. Whenever we come from outside we touch these objects nonetheless we never think of cleaning those.
5. Keep a hand wash and a hand sanitizer at every washbasin and bathroom. Whenever required, just wash your hands throughly. Inculcate the same habit in your kids too. Not only for present this would prove fruitful for future also.
6. Sit for ten minutes and think of all those items and clothes you haven't washed or cleaned for long. Believe me if we sincerely sit and recall, there will be a list of items which we use daily but never bother to clean. Some of them include our hand purse, clutch, comb, mirrors, switch boards, bed switch, phone, chargers, remote, door knobs, etc.
7. Give a routine check to your balconies. Discard old cardboard boxes not in use and empty cartons. Don't wait till Diwali discard them right now.
8. Make a habit for all the family members to wash their hands before stepping out and after stepping in. Healthier habits bring happier families.
9. If you have a school going child, please change his clothes as soon as he reachers home and make him wash his hands, face and feet. Clean his school bag and bottle too regularly.
10. As much as possible dry all your clothes in sun. We all know microorganisms find it difficult to survive in hot environment. So why not eliminate them under the direct hear of sun.
In all the google info, virus updates, social media and whatsap forwards, we have forgotten that care starts at home. I assume all of the readers to benefit from my blog so they can be assured of a safer and healthier environment for themselves.
So friends, feel free to comment your views on my blog and do share your ideas for our safer and happier homes. Follow me and my hashtags #rashigoelphysio  #bbcreatorsclub  #rashig  for more such updates and information.

So friends as we all know Valentine's day is around the corner and everyone is so damn busy planning and ordering stuffs, I just want to share my plans to enjoy this week with my ever enthusiastic and naughty son. My plan for Valentine's is very simple and yet creative. Let's open it up one by one.
1. I have taken various printouts of simple drawings like teddy bear, rose, couple, heart, etc related to the week and I make my son colour them differently daily. We can get anumerable worksheets from Google, Pinterest, etc.
2. I have assembled all the pages and will make a beautiful heart shaped card to gift to us on Valentines day with our photo in the middle. This will not just be a card but a memory forever. Again the ways are many. 
3. We have ordered few games for him which we would open him on friday. Actually we have already started opening as we can't resist playing more than him.
4. Since it's the last day of the working week, we are going to do lots of fun. We would decorate the house with red and white balloons. White because my son loves to play with balloons so he can play with the white ones. Recently I have started playing numbers counting with him while patting the balloons up in the air and he enjoys doing this.
5. And already pre decided red dress code for all of us. I have set aside our clothes which we would be wearing tomorrow evening for the day.
6. And yes the celebration would be definitely incomplete without a Valentine cake. We would cut a heart shaped red velvet cake and have lots of memories.
7. I have assembled our favourite songs and rhymes to dance, enjoy and do lots of fun together.
Hope to celebrate every Valentine's week with the same excitement and fun. Happy Valentine's Day friends. I hope some of you may have got ideas to enjoy the day hassle free with your toddler. I would be happier to get your suggestions and views regarding how you all plan to celebrate involving him or her.

Every celebration is special when its with my little one. This Diwali, I made sure that I involve my 2 year old in all festivities and preparations.
Here I am sharing few ideas we all can do to engage our ever exploring toddler during the festivities. I am sure some of us can correlate and try these as well with their kids.
1. I have got a book on festivals where I read to him every time to make him understand. 
2. I made Rangoli with his involvement as well. I gave him spoon and fork and made him do the way he want.
3. While I was filling Rangoli, he identified colours with me and helped me pick one and keep it back.
4. I made various big and small circles and he counted them one by one.
5. Since now is the time when he repeats whatever we say. So I named everything before him when we sat for Pooja and he kept on repeating his way.
6. This time we are introducing colours to him and he was so overwhelmed whenever we go out as he could see every colour lights. 

This way I was able to prepare well for Diwali without any fuss. 

We clicked a lot of photos and had fun filled Diwali with our family. 

And I was happy because this year he actually enjoyed everything as he could understand with learning. Happy and safe Diwali friends. #MyDiwali  #Diwali  #Family  #Celebrations  #Fun  #writerscommunity  #writers  #writersuniverse  #content  #contentcreator  #bloggers  #writers  #rashig  #rashigoelphysio  #motherhood  #mothering  #BCCreatorsClub  #indianbloggers  #writersflare  #rashigoelindites  #diwalitime  #festivity .

I wish I had a clone. To massage my baby, bathe;him well, play with him, dress him up, make his favourite food, make;a new dish;if he spits or refuses, clean his bum, clean all the mess only to clean it again after 2 hours, make him sleep, listen to his tantrums, wake up;the entire;night etc..
Basically I need;a clone. 
How many of us have thought of it before?;Well, I had this thought yesterday. I told my husband and;he;immediately;asked,;“what will you do then?”;I said,;“I will only breastfeed him and sleep. Aha seems so good.”
It's true,;but even if a mother gets some;“me”;time she will only think about her baby. What new to have in his dinner, what new to buy for him, teach him another new word or just watch her baby sleep. Yes it's definitely true that a mother is;the;epitome of responsibilities. Be it of her baby,;her;husband,;her;home,;her;family;;everything comes on her shoulders. And it's but obvious to;ask for;;some help or care taker to ease the workload;to some extent.
Today I think,;even if I have;a;clone, I would still keep a look on how the massage is done, whether bathing is okay for him,;the;powder and cream applied is appropriate, the food taste is fine, cleaning is done;properly, leftovers are used, age appropriate toys are being introduced, he did not learn a negative word, how much milk he takes, what all food he is liking, what all refusing, etc. Now I;feel,;it is;better to have one person, that is me,;;who knows my baby well and besides being over-stressed or sleep-deprived still believes and does the best for my child. Now I don't want to replace myself with a clone;as;I am enough for my child. I am me and I am proud of it.
Do share your thoughts as well. Have you also felt the same way someday during your parenthood?
