Sharing 14: Pottery

Though we had discussed the same a few days ago, I could understand that he was not clear in understanding the said process because I simply demonstrated with my hand. It was when I showed him some videos that he actually got to know it fully.
The awe in his eyes was worth-a-sight!

Learning 4: Lyre...

This was one instrument I had never heard of. Though it was cheating, I felt nice cheating it from google.
I came to know that it was an old Greek musical instrument. Though raw in the original design, the modern players use sophisticated modifications of the same. Looking forward to more similar learning's...

Sharing 13: Volcano...

When one is intrigued with a seemingly simple question like what is a volcano, one feels what damn thing!
But when you have just started explanation, you feel how amazingly difficult it is to have the same explained to a kid; particularly important is this kid of mine who brings about a new inter-linked question before the completion of a sentence.
I have no idea how much he was able to grasp but I did my best in explaining him, pressure generated through temperature, molten lava and extinct volcanoes. 
Positiveness as I always hunt for, it gives me an opportunity to revising my old school studies.

Misc 8: Kangaroo with Origami...

As I have mentioned earlier, I was never good (leave aside strong) in arts. Needless to say this applies for crafts. I have however no idea how this kid gets his ideas of creativity in this domain.
Today I was amazed by an origami creation of the kid depicting a kangaroo. To be honest, the design was not at all looking like a kangaroo (until told); it seemed more like a frog. What was intriguing was the fact that the animal had a kangaroo. The kid was an exact replica of the mother kangaroo and was inside the pouch.
What I shared with his mother was that I appreciate the thought process of the kid; combination of the knowledge of animate (the process of sustenance of kids by the mothers) and that of the inanimate (representation though paper and paper-folds).
