Elephant god and Happy Prince..

Its the 12th of February....and 6 kids show up for the first colour tree workshop.. 5 girls and a boy..and are they a bright lot?

The first story is " How Ganesha got his elephant head?"Heres' to auspicious beginnings.. as i started narrating the story ..parvati wanting her own soldier as Shivas' soldiers or ganas would not obey her..She creating a boy out of sandal wood paste..The girls gang wanted to know why she did not create a girl???!

Its Clay time folks.. ganesha modelled out of potters clay and finger painted..

Working with hands and heart??!

Then read out Oscar Wildes' Happy Prince..a story i read as a kid ..A tale about love and compassion..All of us then fashioned origami hearts and stuck it in a card with  messages for the parents..Gods best gift to us ..!




The Story magic has well and truly begun..!!
