Get Ready:
Discuss with children about the festival of Christmas. Elaborate on how the celebrations brings the family together with love. Explain that giving and receiving gifts is an act of love. Baking a cake or cookies at home too is a way of expressing love for the family. Donating used toys, clothes that are in good condition to the underprivileged children is an act of love. Making crafts with waste is an act of love towards the Environment!
