Dhanteras Celebration for Kids at Poly Kids

Dhanteras, the auspicious beginning of Diwali, is a festival that signifies prosperity, health, and wealth. At Poly Kids, we bring these values to life in a way that’s relatable for young children. By celebrating Dhanteras, we teach our little ones the importance of tradition, cultural appreciation, and the joy of giving. Through activities, stories, and crafts, we ensure that Dhanteras is a memorable learning experience for every child.

The Significance of Dhanteras for Children

  Dhanteras introduces children to the idea of prosperity. Through stories and discussions, we help them understand the significance of good health, wealth, and positivity in life.

  Celebrating Dhanteras encourages gratitude in children. We talk about the importance of being thankful for what we have and sharing it with others, fostering a spirit of kindness.

Dhanteras Activities at Poly Kids

Our Dhanteras celebration is filled with fun activities that children love. Here’s a look at how we create an exciting environment that’s also rich in learning:

• Crafting DIY Clay Lamps
  Children get creative by making small clay lamps, or diyas, which they can take home. This hands-on activity allows them to understand the significance of light in our lives and the role it plays during Diwali.
• Storytelling Sessions
  Our teachers narrate Dhanteras stories in an engaging way, helping children understand the legend of Lord Dhanvantari and the symbolism of health and prosperity.

  Kids dress up in traditional attire, immersing themselves in the festive spirit. Role-play activities help them grasp the concepts of prosperity and happiness in a fun, interactive manner.
• Sharing and Caring Activities
  Through sharing sessions, we teach the value of generosity. Kids bring small gifts or treats to share with their friends, learning that prosperity is also about giving.
