Visit to the Crafts Museum (Pragati Maidan) and Garment/Home Furnishing Manufacturing Unit – Shades of India, Noida by Meher Khan KG Coordinator


Kindergarteners enjoyed their educational visits to the Crafts Museum and Garment/Home Furnishing Manufacturing Unit relating to their current inquiry on products passing through many changes before they are used or consumed. The visits were a great learning experience, since our students identified stages of changes of different products.

The students were delighted to watch artisans working on wood, fabric, paper and bamboo to produce a variety of beautiful art pieces. They observed tools like blocks used for printing, cutters, and engravers to form designs. Kindergarteners were amazed to know that some art forms are derived from plants, and animal hide can be used to create a variety of products such as bags, and wallets.

The factory visit gave an insight into different areas of a factory. They observed different materials, and workers cutting the fabric, creating designs using thread, beads, and sequins, stitching, finishing and packing.
Our students inquired from the workers about their specific tasks and they really enjoyed the demonstration of creating jewellery from fabric and beads. We thank and appreciate the support of our parents Mrs and Mr. Housego (parents of Meher Housego KG C) who gave us this opportunity to visit their factory and extended their enthusiasm and hospitality.

These experiences will surely help our little ones make connections with their learning.
