We are already on the last week of January in the new year and that means Republic day is upon us. This holiday why not engage your children in a fun craft activity while teaching them symbols associated with India. Our national flag, emblem, animal, flower, etc. We used supplies commonly found around the house and came up with these super simple crafts!Â
