Makar Sankranti festival celebrated all Udayan Kidz Preschool and Daycare Centres in India, and it marks the transition of the sun into the zodiac sign of Capricorn, known as Makar in Hindi. Here’s a child-friendly explanation:
“Alright, little friends! Imagine the Sun as a big, bright ball in the sky. Now, just like how we have seasons, the Sun also moves to different parts of the sky. Makar Sankranti is a special day when the Sun starts moving towards the north, bringing warmer days.
During this time, we celebrate by flying colourful kites in the sky! It’s like a big, joyful party where families and friends come together. People also enjoy delicious sweets made from sesame seeds and jaggery, like til gud laddoos.
Makar Sankranti celebration in preschool is a happy time when we thank the Sun for giving us light and warmth. It’s like saying goodbye to winter and welcoming the bright, sunny days ahead. So, when you see kites in the sky or taste sweet treats during this time, remember that we’re celebrating the Sun and the change of seasons!”
