Christmas brings cheer and love. This year the festival was celebrated virtually, albeit with the same fervour, spreading the message of love and joy among our young Indianites. Our children were ushered to exhibit their creativity as they soaked in the spirit of Christmas. Craft activities were planned for the young Pre-schoolers in a way that it kept the little ones engaged through the week. It had them very delighted as they enjoy trying to do things independently.

On 9 December, 2021, a special activity, Name your Snowman was conducted in class, where each child assembled a snowman with paper cut-outs.

Decorating the Christmas tree is a time tested activity that greatly helps strengthen eye-hand coordination and sharpen the fine motor skills. It develops creative, aesthetic and cognitive skills too. To enhance the creative skills of our little ones, this activity was conducted on 17 December, 2021 in a unique way. The children used recycled material and natural products to make their special personal Christmas tree.
