The legend of Raksha Bandhan

There are various legends 

surrounding the festivities of 

Raksha Bandhan and it also finds a 

mention in the Mahabharata. Some 

of the prominent one is the legend 

of Queen Karnavati and Emperor 

Humayun.

According to the Indian medieval 

history, Queen Karnavati 

of the Rajput Kingdom, Chittor had sent a Rakhi to 

Humayun the Mughal Emperor of Delhi seeking his help 

against Bahadur Shah of Mewar. Emperor Humayun knew 

about the significance of Rakhi in the Hindu community 

hence accepted her request to protect Queen Karnavati.

Since then the ritual of tying of a sacred thread Rakhi on 

the wrist of brothers is celebrated with much fervour all 

over the country.

The legend of King Bali and Goddess Laxmi is a popular one. 

According to the legend Lord Vishnu was immensely pleased 

with his devotee King Bali thus granting him a boon of 

immortality and promised heavenly protection for his 

kingdom.

In order to fulfil his promise Lord Vishnu left his abode 

Vaikunthdham and came to stay with King Bali. Soon 

Goddess Laxmi visited King Bali on the Shravan Poornima 

day disguised a poor Brahmin lady and tied Rakhi on his 

wrist. When King Bali tried to give her some present, she 

revealed her true identity and asked the King to send Lord 

Vishnu back with her to Vaikunthdham.

Another legend is of Yama (the God of death) and Yamuna. 

It is believed that on every Shravan Poornima day Yamuna 

used to tie a sacred thread on Yama’s wrist. Yama was so

moved by the serenity of this custom that he declared that 

whosoever gets a Rakhi tied on his wrist from his sister and 

promised her protection will become protection.

Since then Raksha Bandhan celebrates the eternal bond

between brothers and sisters all over the country.

Science Is Fun : Fool Your Tongue!

Our sense of smell is so tied up with our sense of taste that 70-75%

of what we taste actually comes from our sense of smell! Have you

ever had a cold, and food just tasted bland or boring?This was

because you couldn’t smell it as well as taste it as it went into your

mouth.In this fun activity we are going to show how strongly our

sense of smell controls what we taste.

What You Need:

Apple,Vanilla extract,Cotton ball






What You Do:
1. Have your child take a bite of apple and pay close attention to how it tastes. Is it tart as tangy? Does it taste like an apple? Of course it does!
2. Now add several drops of vanilla extract to the cotton ball.
3. Hold the cotton ball near, but not touching, your child's nose as you take a second bit of the apple. Continue to smell the cotton ball while you chew.


What Happened?
The first bite tasted like an apple should taste. The second seemed to taste like vanilla. Why?


The nerve endings in the tongue only identify sweet, sour, salty and bitter - other sensations are due to smell. When the vanilla was stronger than the apple smell the apple "tasted" like vanilla.

Color I Spy

Be  inside home and  enjoy game with your friends and family

indulge in a colorful game of I Spy while you're at it! 

Kids love this classic game, and this colour-themed version is

just as fun but twice as educational. If your preschooler

needs help with colour recognition, this is just the game

for your kid.

What You Need:
Cards,Scissors,Markers in a rainbow of colours

What You Do:
1. Begin by talking about colour with your child, using the markers as a guide. Take each marker out of the package one at a time and ask her to name the colours as you go along.
2. Cut the cards into 5" x 7" rectangles.
3. Have your child draw a picture of a flower, plant, or other spring thing on the front of each card, using only one colour for each card.
4. Now turn each card over and write the name of the colour you used on that card on the back using the same colour marker. For some handwriting practice, try writing the words lightly in pencil first, then having her trace over the letters in marker.
5. Now it's time to play! Take the cards outside. Choose one card and ask your child to name the colour, then turn the card over to reveal the colour word.
6. Now look around outside and find something natural (like a tree or flower) that's the same colour as the card.
7. Once you've found something, turn to your child and say, “I spy something with my eye that is the colour_____”. Encourage her to try and find the object you chose. Give her descriptive word clues to help point her in the right direction. If she guesses another
object that is the right colour, let her know that her pick is also correct.
8. Continue playing by repeating steps 5-7 for the rest of the color cards. Once she finds all the colours, she wins!
During the course of the game, invite your child to select unique adjectives to describe each colour. Encourage her to get creative with her word choices and use her imagination!

Science Is Fun (Learn Where Wind Comes From?)

Does your child always demand to know- Why the sky is blue?  How the sun moves across the sky? or Where wind comes from?

 Then this experiment is for you! Demonstrate how wind is created with an entertaining activity, and introduce your child to the wild ways that weather works.

What You Need:

1. Adult helper
2. Paper and pencil
3. Scissors
4. Thumb-pin
5. Thread
6. Clothes hanger
7. Heat source

What to Do:
1. On a piece of paper, have your child draw a spiral shape, then cut it out.
2. Have the adult poke a small hole in the center of the spiral with the thumbtack.
3. Push one end of the thread through the hole in the spiral. Tie it. Then attach the other end to a middle of a clothes hanger.
4. Hold or hand the hanger with the spiral several inches above a radiator, a lit table lamb, or even a metal pan heated by the sun. (Don't put the spiral too close to the heat, and take it down when you are finished. Never leave it hanging near heat when you are not there to watch it.)
What Happened?

The spiral moved! As the warm air moved upward, it pushed against the underside of the spiral, and made it spin. It's this upward movement of air that causes winds. As warm air rises, the air pressure under it gets lower and cooler air nearby moves in to take its place. This sideways moving air is wind,and it usually brings a change in the weather.
