I went to Tara Tots

Last week I went to Tara Tots to help them set up their library. I helped my mother set up the library. And I made some paper chains for decoration.

For the tiny baby books we put a basket to keep them in. A Orange sticker on the books for children up to 3 years. for children 3 to 5 years old we used blue sticker, for children 5 to 7 we used green color stickers.

This is how you make paper chains. Take as many papers as you want of different colors and take a scale to draw lines and cut strips of paper. Take a strip and fold it into a circle and tape it and then take another strip , pass it through the first circle and tape its ends and then keep going like that until you think it's done for you.

You can see the paper chain I made !

Pune with family

I am back to write on my blog. I was in a place called Pune and there was no internet. I will tell you what I did in Pune. I went to a place called called Aga Khan palace. This is where Gandhi ji lived and wife died there. It was soo pretty.



Aga Khan Palace

I saw all the rooms and I went to the place where my mummy was born. That was even prettier than the Aga Khan palace.

Military Hospital- NDA Khadakvasla, Pune

My grandpa was in the Army and my mom was born in the Army hospital. Even that was pretty. My grandpa used to eat his meals in a place called a mess. Oh dont think it is the mess we make! It is a place where all the Army people eat their meals. And in the mess there are so many different knives, forks,spoons, tablespoons, plates. All kinds of different things to eat with!

There was a ballroom in the mess.

Ballroom in the Cadet Mess

All the cadets looked like little baby boys. Cadets are the people who are learning to be an officer in the Army.

My palette stand

Today I am going to share how to make a palette stand . You take  a cardboard  and cut the shape of a palette, then take an old-cup make a hole in the cardboard and tape the cup to the hole. Paint the whole thing make a design and your palette is ready to keep your brushes you can make more holes and put more cups and keep different things and your palette is ready .

Next Phase

Now I am in the next phase of my treatment, I can do whatever I like. I can go out for lunch, I can go for art classes and I can go for all the birthday parties I want. But I still have to meet my doctor every month. I am so happy. I have to be careful.I have to wash my hands but I can still do a lot more than what I could do before.

I made wrapping Paper...

My Mom said that it is not nice to just keep buying paper to wrap gifts, you should make it! So I had an idea. I took long sheets of butter paper, wooden carved stamps, poster color and I decorated the paper by printing. I made lots and lots of wrapping paper. It was a lot of fun. And if you don't have stamps, you can use your hands or leaves! It is ok if you spill the paint . Wear an apron while doing this otherwise you will get all messy and dirty.
