Republic Day is a celebration of unity, patriotism, and the vibrant spirit of India. What better way to involve children in this joyous occasion than by creating patriotic classroom decorations that transform their learning spaces into vibrant tributes to the nation? These hands-on projects are not only a fun way to channel creativity but also an educational journey into the cultural essence of the day. Here are four engaging DIY activities designed to inspire young minds and add a patriotic touch to your classroom décor.

1. Make Tricolour Flowers with Chart Papers and Scissors

These charming tricolour flowers are perfect for Republic Day classroom decoration, combining artistry with the symbolism of India’s national colours. This craft is simple yet visually impactful, making it ideal for children.

Materials Required:

• Rangeela Paper Glitter: Silver, Gold

• Fevicol Ele

• Green, White, and Orange Chart Papers

• Pencil

• Scissors

• Barbecue Sticks

Steps to Create:

Start by cutting long strips of green, white, and orange chart papers, each 3 inches thick. Spread Rangeela Paper Glitter (silver or gold) across one side of the strips and let them dry. On the reverse side, draw horizontal lines 1 cm apart, leaving a margin of half an inch, and carefully cut along the lines to form fringes. Take a barbecue stick, attach one end of the strip to the top, and roll it around the stick, securing it with Fevicol Ele. Repeat this process with all three colours. The final result is a set of beautifully crafted flowers that embody the tricolour spirit of Republic Day.

Creative Tip:

Add an extra touch by wrapping the barbecue stick with green chart paper or ribbons to make it look like a flower stem. You can also add a small glittery star in the centre of the flowers for added sparkle.

Hang these tricolour flowers across the walls for simple yet stunning patriotic classroom decor that complements other Republic Day crafts.
