A MAGICAL CELEBRATION: EY2 CULTIVATES CULINARY JOY WITH FIRELESS MODAK MAKING

On the auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi on Monday, 14 September 2026, the vibrant corridors of the Early Years 2 section buzzed with immense excitement as the EY2 children eagerly participated in a delightful culinary activity titled "Cooking Without Fire – Modak Magic." Dressed neatly in their custom-labelled aprons, the tiny chefs took their places at designated tables neatly lined with personal place mats. The event aimed to foster fine motor coordination, sensory exploration, and cultural awareness in a safe, flame-free environment. The young culinary enthusiasts carefully donned their disposable gloves, transforming immediately into focused little bakers. Each child was provided with a small mixing bowl containing a single serving of fragrant besan that had been pre-roasted in rich ghee. With steady guidance, the children carefully squeezed sweet condensed milk into their bowls, watching in fascination as the dry flour altered into a malleable mixture. They then sprinkled finely crushed dry fruits into the blend, customising the recipe according to their individual taste preferences. The climax of the experience arrived when the children transferred their sweet dough into their individual modak moulds. Applying gentle pressure with their small fingers, they packed the mixture carefully before unlatching the moulds to reveal perfectly shaped, intricate festive dumplings. Universal smiles of pride and accomplishment lit up the room as the children marvelled at their creation of two to three beautiful modaks. This hands-on experience not only celebrated a beloved cultural tradition but also instilled a wonderful sense of independence and confidence in the young learners.
