Harmony Week is a time to celebrate diversity, inclusivity, and cultural richness in schools by fostering positive relationships between students.
For teachers, one wonderful way to engage students in this celebration through craft activities that not only promote creativity but also serve as a means to convey a powerful message of unity and harmony.
One fantastic way to captivate young minds on this significant topic is through printable templates, providing an opportunity for their creativity to run wild.
We’ve put together a fun and educational ‘Lotus Flower Craft Worksheet’ for kids – an enjoyable and educational project that encourages artistic expression and prompts reflection on the importance of harmony and unity.
The worksheet features step-by-step instructions to empower students to craft their lotus flowers using readily available materials such as crayons, markers, glue, and scissors.
Let the fun begin…
