Holi Bonfire Card

Holi is a popular festival in India. It celebrates the end of the winter season and the arrival of spring.

Holika Dahan (Bonfire) is an important ritual associated with the Holi festival. Holika Dahan or the lighting of the bonfire takes place on the eve of Holi. People gather and perform religious rituals in front of the bonfire.

According to Hindu mythology, Holi celebrates the killing of Holika (sister of the demon king Hiranyakashipu) by god Vishnu in order to save his devotee Prahlad. And, Holi gets its name from Holika.

To educate my daughter about this ritual, we made this cute bonfire craft for kids.

Paper Plate Frog With Moving Tongue

Did you know there are over 5000 species of frogs? Or some frogs can jump 20 times their size or that some species like poison dart frogs are poisonous?

Frogs are fascinating animals for everyone but especially for children. They come in so many colors and have quite a few entertaining characteristics. They hop or jump everywhere. They are amphibious - meaning they can live on the land or in the water. That’s a fun ability!

Have you seen a frog eat? They have super long sticky tongues that they use to catch food such as flies or small insects. It’s quite something to watch them go about getting their belly full with just the tongue.

This movement is so fast often the prey doesn't have a chance to escape. A frog's tongue can snap back into its mouth within 15/100ths of a second.

After our popular Chomp Chomp Bunny Craft, we found that frog meal time actually makes for a fun craft activity for preschool children at school, art classes or home.

All you need is a paper plate and basic craft supplies and you are all set to make your very own “Eat Eat Frog Toy”. Have fun and learn too.
