Children’s Day!
The most effective kind of education is that a child should play amongst lovely things. - Plato
Children’s day is celebrated in India on November 14th. Universally Children’s day is celebrated on November 20th.But in India we celebrate this on 14th as it was Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s birthday. Chacha Nehru as the children fondly referred to him, was fond of both children and roses. In fact he often compared the two, saying that children were like the buds in a garden. They should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they were the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow. He felt that children are the real strength of a country and the very foundation of society. Most importantly he did not discriminate between the sexes and believed in giving equal opportunities to girls and boys. In fact his own little girl grew up to be the third Prime Minister of India.
Children have the right to enjoy! Let’s aspire to make this day special for them!
Activities we can plan for Children’s day!
- My son and his cousins are fond of me baking at home, and they enjoy it because we all do it together. So we will definitely bake on that day.
- We will watch a movie together.
- We have planned to donate some clothes, stationery etc to Red Cross.
- They enjoy when we sit and play together, we recently bought some new board games – Junior Monopoly, Discover Asia, and Scotland Yard. Even though the kids are 5+ they enjoy it a lot when we parents join them and sit to play. It’s so much more fun that way.
- Most children may have school that day and have lot of activities in the school itself, so instead of having an elaborate plan, something small can be done to close the day. Spending quality time with them by playing with them, or reading a book together, cooking, or any activity that you and your children enjoy doing together.
Do let us know what you did for Children’s day! Hope you have a great day.
We baked the cake...

choco and sugar.

finally it was a job well done!!
Then came the decorating,
and everyone going me, me me
well it was their day and
I said, well, your way!
We did have lots of fun baking, looks were as important as the taste. But to be frank, I put less sugar in the icing... so the cake was not as sweet as the ones you get outside, but it surely was a treat after all the effort.
