DakshinaChitra- South Indian cultural center

DakshinaChitra was really cool!! (DAKSHINACHITRA- In case you want to check it out…) The theme there is the culture of South India- the people’s homes, handicrafts & lifestyles. The thing the kids really enjoyed was actually making the handicrafts. They made a shaker and a puppet out of palm leaves, ground rice the old fashioned way, made a pot on a pottery wheel & Edie got Mehndi on her hand. We also watched a glass blower (he made a necklace for Isaac) played on a rope bridge & got a cool bow & arrow made out of sticks. Definitely a fun AND educational day!
