From his sweet little eyes to his large floppy ears, Lord Ganesha appeals to children and adults of all ages. Ganesh Chaturthi, the festival that celebrates Lord Ganesha’s day of birth is an occasion that’s rejoiced for ten days with prayers, street parties and feasts.
Known as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences, he is also the deva of intellect and wisdom. Ganesha is also invoked as the advocate of learning. Traditionally, prior to school starting children pray to Lord Ganesh for any obstacles to be removed. As the god of beginnings, he is also honored at the start of every religious ritual and ceremony.
Due to his elephant head many kids are attracted to the plump, dessert loving god. My husband tells me stories about when he was a child and how he would go sit at the clay makers shop next door to his house. The clay maker would let him help mold the ears and other simple parts.
Because each part of Ganesha is so important and significant, I wanted to create a fun way to educate little ones. Bharat Babies and Love Laugh Mirch teamed up this Ganesh Chaturthi to bring you a free printable to help teach your little darlings about Lord Ganesha. The printable is a great way to let your kids be creative while learning about the meaning of Lord Ganesha. I printed it on standard A4 card stock pape for Little Mirchi to enjoy and learn!
From both our families at Bharat Babies and Love Laugh Mirch, Have a festive and sweet Ganesh Chaturthi.
