Exploring India’s States: Crafts & Facts
India’s 28 states offer a tapestry of traditions and crafts, and CurioBuddy brings these experiences alive with hands-on projects and fun facts:
- Karnataka: Famous for sandalwood carvings and Mysore silk sarees. Kids can craft sandalwood-scented sachets or paper “silk” fabrics.
- Rajasthan: Known for block printing and bright puppetry. Create paper puppets and host a mini folk dance skit.
- West Bengal: Celebrate the art of Sholapith and vibrant Durga Puja festivals. Make clay models or festive masks.
- Assam: Renowned for bamboo weaving and the Gamosa cloth. Try weaving paper mats or simple baskets.
Animal-Themed Crafts:
India’s wildlife inspires crafts too—build cartoon elephants, peacocks, tigers, and lions from recycled materials. As they make these, kids learn fun facts, like how India is home to 60% of the world’s wild tigers.
