Description: Diwali, also known as the festival of lights, symbolizes the victory of good over
evil and brightness over darkness. Diyas or earthen lamps are the major attraction
of this festival. They are lit on Diwali in every house for puja and decoration
purposes.
On the occasion of Diwali festival, St. Xavier’s High School, KidZone organized
a Diya Decoration Activity for the KidZone children along with their mothers or
fathers. The activity was held on 3 rd November 2023 for UKG and 4 th November
2023 for LKG. The children and their parents both were enthusiastic about the
activity. The parents involvement in such activities with their kids creates more
positive experience for the children along with invaluable memories.
A notice regarding the activity was send to kids in advance to prepare for the
activity. Everyone had coloured and dried their diyas at home. In the school the
parents and children decorated their diyas in various designs with stones, glitters
laces, bangles, clay, cardboard, even real flowers and leaves. They made
innovative designer diyas like peacock, lotus, hanging diyas, multilayered diyas
etc. All the parents also donated a generous amount for the poor and
underprivileged.
All the diyas made in this activity was set up for exhibition and sale. The money
collected from the sale was used for a social cause.
All the parents and children had a lovely time bonding over this activity. Our
preschoolers learnt hand-eye coordination while sticking the stones and stickers on
the diyas. They learnt how to make things more creative and attractive. Designing
and decorating according to their own taste also spurred their imagination and
creativity. It was a great experience for both the parents and children.
