This year my theme is "Ramayana tales" . I have created the following 14 scenes from Ramayana and I have made some of the dolls myself with polymer clay. I made all the props for the scenes.
Also, as a return gift I created my own "Ramayana adventures" game in the lines of monopoly board game. I thought this will be an interesting way to get our children to learn the great epic.
