Independance/Republic Day activities with paper n clay

For those whose love to be creative with paper and clay…here are some wonderful ideas…
Freedom Bracelet
All you need:
Orange, green and white paper
transparent tape
glue
scissors

Instructions:
1. Cut strips of paper that are about 2 inches wide (the lesser the width, the thinner will be the bracelet) and 12 inches long.
Cut 5 orange strips, 5 green strips and 10 white strips.
2. Lightly glue a white strip to the back of each of the orange and green strips.
3. Now tape all the orange strips together end to end. So you have one LONG orange strip.
Repeat the process for the green strips.
4. Place the strips like an L and then fold over each other in an alternating pattern (See picture). Solid colours are the front and slashed colours the white back of the paper. When you run out of paper, trim ends as necessary and tape so it doesn't unravel. 

5.Roll into a circle and tape to form a bracelet.

What does the central ‘chakra’ in our flag stand for?
§  The wheel at the centre is called the 'Dharma Chakra'
§  the 24 spokes in the wheel stand for 24 hours in a day
§  the blue of the spokes represent Ocean and Sky



Make one at home, with playdough and waste sketch pens!
