“I have found that I could easily say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say in any other way—things I usually had no words for.”- — Georgia O’Keeffe

The mind of a creative genius is very strange and absolutely a wonderful thing. Not only have great artists created great works of art that have shaped culture and the human existence for centuries, they also have interesting insights & stories behind as to why they do what they do. Perhaps some of these insights may help revive your own thoughts about art and help you on your own creative journey!

Today, let us understand something about “String Art”. My recent finding of an extremely unique & interesting art form by Pupus Dreamy Designs.

Bumpy Rides: The Best Sensory Toys for Kids

In play it looks like they are head taller than themselves. Play is not a break from learning. It is endless, delightful, deep, engaging, practical learning. Rightly said, it’s the straight doorway into the child’s heart. In my ever evolving & consistent search for innovative toys for my children I came cross some beautiful “Sensory toys”. What are sensory toys? Sensory play toys are great way for kids to relax, enjoy and focus. Unlike regular toys, sensory toys appeal & relate to specific sensory systems and help children to regulate their senses. It enables them to develop and enhance cognitive skills, motor skills, concentration etc. The beautifully designed creative sensory paths from Bumpy rides enable kids to complete complex tasks by building stronger >sensory connections in the brain.

Point to Note: Always remember, when looking for sensory toys for kids, consider the types of activities your child seeks out — and which activities they avoid. This will help you understand what kind of sensory toy they are most comfortable with. For instance, does your child love jumping up and down on the bed or furniture and have a difficult time containing their energy, or do they find it difficult to concentrate at daycare because there are too many visual and auditory things happening at once? Understanding in detail about which senses the toys can help focus will help you determine what kind of sensory toy your child needs.

Nutrisi Duniya: Motivation for children to unplug from Screens

 

 

“Play is our brain's favorite way of learning” – Diane Ackerman

Digital Gadgets have changed a child from an irresistible force to an immovable object.

Screens are everywhere we and our children look. They are involved in how we keep in touch with friends and family and keep tab on other updates. We get most of our news and entertainment via them. And now we even use them for online schooling or summer camps as well!

In today’s world, it is utmost important to introduce our kids to these fun and new technologies. But we need to ensure that they are not becoming dependent on screens to manage behavior. Because even though these apps and the internet promises to provide educational games and resources, there is little evidence that they are beneficial to a young child’s cognitive development.

Exposure to excessive screen time is in fact associated with attention and learning problems, poor academic performance, lack of concentration, increased anxiety, restlessness, obesity, and negative behavior in children are few to mention.

Screen time and time in the real world (off-screen) should be well-balanced. Remember these are recommendations – there is no magic formula where bad or good things happen. The rationale is to have healthy habits become a daily routine for your child and your family for their bright & healthy future.

Ishva Designs: Helping Shape Screen Free Childhood for our Children

 

 “Childhood is the most cherished chapter of all life’s chapters”

Remember collecting coins or stamps in our childhood?

Remember exchanging currencies with friends?

Remember asking your grandparents for old currency or stamps?

What nostalgia never thought that these childhood collections were beginning of experiencing cross country culture at young age.

I remember having a pen friend in Australia when I was 10 years old, we used to exchange letters with stamps, coins etc. and this continued for few years.

As a mother of two young boys, I firmly believe that knowing about different parts of world like their flags, currency, capitals should be part of early learning. Digital Gadgets have changed a child from an irresistible force to an immovable object and inducing a balance between screen time and time in the real world (off-screen) is must in today’s world.

Our screen free childhood has various such memories, stamp collection, flag collection, coin collection etc. etc. The memories are still so fresh, by acquiring cross-cultural knowledge, you can express yourself with confidence and understand how to be patient with other people who aren't from a similar background as you grow.

Eventually, it also provides great opportunity to meet/interact with fellow students/peers from other cultures and understand their culture & policies in more detail.

Talking to your kids about money/world currencies at an early age can help them understand the value of the dollar/rupee, how to save for long-term goals and how to spend responsibly. Teaching children in initial years of their childhood about finances can help build financial literacy and give them a stronger ability to manage their finances later in life

Currency is the official money of a country. It consists of paper money and coins. Each country has its own form of currency, which is supervised by the central bank of that country. Even though different countries may have similar name of currency, their currencies are usually not connected to one another. Hence, children should have good general knowledge of currencies used all over the world and what best way it could be if we can teach the same with help of flash cards and sample currency?

In today’s day and age, children rarely see cash change hands, they see only credit & debit cards. To equip my children with knowledge currencies in the world in play way methods , Ishva flash cards  of flags & currencies came for my rescue.

I was pleasantly surprised with my children grasping flags & currencies so fast and in no time, they were taking tests of each other. Such a lovely sight to see children spend productive, quality time away from screen.

Ishva flash cards are beautifully designed, laminated & compiled and act as an incredible versatile study tool, a must buy for all young children, pre nursery, activity center’s etc.

They also help your child engage in active recall exercise which teaches the brain to remember a term, concept, or process without context clues. Increases your general knowledge, memory retention power and concentration.

Kudos to Ishita & entire team for amazing efforts and enabling us to give a screen free extremely engaging activities for our children, which helps us develop passion for continuous learning & growth for them. Heartfelt gratitude to Ishita & team and want to summarize with famous Chinese proverb below.

If you are planning for a year, just sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; AND if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people!
