Let them taste the cookies as they are the ones who have prepared it all (from their perspective). Allow kids to be creative by adding sprinkles and other edible decorations while making the cookies. When you’re finished baking, have a little celebration and eat some delicious cookies.

Place these notes in their play area, just behind their pillow, under their plate, on a water bottle, in books, and on the wall. Allow them to discover these little notes throughout the day so they can feel loved and special all day long. Additionally, you can count on leaving Children’s Day quotes to encourage them.

Handmade Gifts and Cards

“The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.” ' Denis Waitley

Kids’ love towards arts and crafts is unexplainable. Greetings prepared from cardboard, with glitters and cartoons spark intrigue and imagination. However, when they receive something similar from parents, they just roam around with happiness for the rest of the week. They will erupt with joy at the sight of a moving cartoon, a spaceship bearing their name, or a Barbie mansion. Although it won’t require much work, the little ones will appreciate your gesture. A little creativity and thinking outside the box will be sufficient to produce a masterpiece and add to the Children’s Day celebrations. Begin with the things that your child really admires. Once they receive a homemade gift card or craft, they will feel special and motivated to create something similar. Create a Children’s Day drawing and add your personal touch to the cards and gifts.
