Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
COLOURFUL TUSKERS, RAVANA PUPPETS AND ECO-FRIENDLY DANDIYAS, THESE WERE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NAVRATRI-DUSSEHRA CELEBRATIONS AT LIGHTHOUSE.
The theme for this celebration was Reduce, Reuse, Recycle in keeping with the current pandemic situation and the need to conserve resources.The week began with the tiny tots of K.G. creating their own dandiya sticks by rolling old newspapers. These were then painted and jazzed up with ribbons and metallic lace. The elementary students of classes 1 and 2 designed cute Ravana puppets using paper and bamboo while classes 3 to 5 created attractive elephant wall hangings using discarded cardboard cartons and silver foil.
The animals were painted to resemble the beasts that parade the streets of Mysuru during the annual Dussehra procession. The aim of this whole celebration was to show children how even discarded materials can be used innovatively to create beautiful art and crafts.
