The past couple of weeks has been fun with a few first experiences. I am recording our explorations via pictures.
Air Dry Clay Modelling
We enjoyed our first modelling experience with Air Dry clay. It was a great sensory and fine motor activity. The kids tried to create snowmen, pinch pots, rings, cookies,buttons, happy faces etc.
They molded, stamped, kneaded and rolled. They learnt the tactic of sticking clay pieces with little water. We are going to color the clay pieces once they dry out.

Holiday Show Performance
The twins were part of Holiday show called "Festival of lights" at their school. Sid played a Dreidel and Shrinidhi, a Snowflake. It is their first time getting on stage and I am happy for the way they carried themselves. Here is a snap shot of them in their partial costumes before the performance.

The Nutcracker Ballet
A most exciting experience of all has been our visit to watch live performance of The Nutcracker Ballet. This was a first theater experience for us adults too in USA and we loved it. The kids were leaping, twirling and role playing the Nutcracker and Clara ever since.

Hope these first experiences have made deep impressions in their mind. :)
