Family week in the school, kids being taught about family
members, relations - family tree...kids learn fast and easiest way is to
involve "fun" in learning and Fancy dress is the most fun event for
kids when it works out with the theme being taught at school.
So this was it, the week got over with teaching about
family, its members, sticking pictures of family members in the EVS book,
coloring the pictures in the book...last but not the least was a message which came
over from the School "dress your wards as one of your family member"
And the work started....first convincing a 3yr old for going
to school dressed up as his favorite family member, then asking his choice -
Answer " I wanna dress like Papa"....ok done, deal! Another task
making him dress like one.
The day came, took out his smart clothing - a waist coat ,
shirt, and trousers. And to his surprise a readymade Turban, as we are from a
Sikh family and turban adds to a smart dressing :p
Taking his early morning tantrums for getting ready for the
school, I took out my Kajal pencil and my child being un-ware and showing as if
I am applying a crème to his face , I
made mustache and beard on his face, made him wore his [I]patka[/I] and graced
up with is ready to go Turban :)
But, we made sure that he didn’t saw the mirror, else he
would have got rid of his kajal made mustache and beard : o
He looked very cute - a little [I]sardarji[/I], got awarded,
and appreciated for dressing up smartly :cool:
School takes us to a troll when ask for getting the little
ones dressed, but the pride which kids take latter when role playing is great !
