Ganesh Chaturthi Crafts for kids
Starting with Sulbha’s and her creative boy’s Ganesh Chaturthi crafts in her own words.
Ganpati is also known as vighnaharta, and staying in Maharashtra we have a strong and emotional connection with the 10day long festival celebrated. People bring Ganpati for one and half days, 3 days, 5 days, 7 days and 10 days. Ganpati is offered Modak or ladoo as prasad
We bought Ganpati home last year and my then 4 years old were quite happy and excited. I think kids think Ganesha as their friend and resonate with the trunk God. This time we bought Ganesha home for one and half days but before Ganesha came home to bless us all β¦kids created some art and craft
DIY Ganesh or Ganpati made using Play dough
We bring sadu mitti moorti of Ganpati and kids are quite inspired to save mother earth they wanted to create some from clay but since it’s raining continuously..I said them it will not dry hence I gave them idea let’s make one from play doh and next year we will make from clay. They agreed and our play doh Bappa was created

Ganpati made using leaves we offered (eco friendly DIY Ganesha craft)
Still boys were not happy and they wanted their own Ganesha whom they could worship and immerse. This is when my kids used the pan and mango leaves which we offered Ganesha to create a Ganesha of their own. Just glued few leaves and then decorated it with chalk markers
