Colour Me Enlightened!
ENLIGHTENING LIGHTHOUSE, A PROGRAMME FOR THE SKILL DEVELOPMENT OF OUR LIGHTHOUSE KIDS WITH THE HELP OF FUN ACTIVITIES STARTED BY THE ROTARACT CLUB OF H.R. COLLEGE, WAS TAKEN TO A NEW HIGH THIS WEEK. KINDERGARTEN AND STANDARD ONE STUDENTS LEARNED ABOUT DIFFERENT KINDS OF FRUITS AND THEIR COLOURS.
Children can sometimes find it monotonous to see pictures in a book and learn names of fruits, so these college students came up with something simple yet fun, to make sure that the students enjoyed and learnt something new.
They did an exciting and fun art activity titled ‘Finger Painting Fruits’. The students painted a pineapple, grapes and strawberry using their tiny little fingers dipped in a splash of paint. They then conducted a short quiz to test whether the students actually remember all the fruits with their colours.
To their surprise, the kids of our Lighthouse answered every question and bonded very well by interacting with the college students. Lighthouse kids were then given some fun activities to do at home during the week. They are supposed to make a tree using finger painting.
Meanwhile, senior Lighthouse students contemplated the pros and cons of plastic bags and cloth bags. They were made aware of the hazards of using plastic bags for daily chores. They were taught about the importance of cloth bags and how to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
After this, the students were given cloth bags and fabric paints with the help of which they customized their cloth bags with some fabulous paintings and a learnt a new technique using a masking tape. The other side of the bag was given to them to paint at home with a new design to build their creativity and teach them different colour combinations.
Our students were very patient with their paintings and followed their instructions perfectly. This resulted in the creation of some masterpieces.
