Madhubani is a traditional Indian folk art and this Mega kit of ‘Make Madhubani Medley’ extends the ‘Make in India ‘slogan to this important and traditional Indian Art theme. This kit conveys this in a manner especially created for a younger target audience. The idea behind this craft is to stimulate the interests of the child in the rich art culture of India and is an introductory exercise in that direction.

Among all the Indian Art forms, Madhubani can be pursued by children in more ways than one as:

• It reveals simplistic thoughts
• Platforms where expressions are more telling then artistry
• They incorporate simple objects and styles
• The colour palette is very rich Moreover, the child will probably not stick to the original art and the traditional as seen in the mind of the child gets a different and contemporary look.

This is a real Madhubani art treat wherein you have done your bit for the community by popularizing this great art form to a new and younger audience.

The picture templates for the Sand art activity use Madhubani motifs which a child can identify with. All the pictures carry decorative double-line borders and semi-detailed interior offering ample scope to express artistic talent. They have a choice of both: line-work or filling sand in the empty spaces. Once the child has completed these sand art pictures, it would be a great idea to picture-frame some of them.
