Until now, my 2 year-old baby, Mishti was I can call would be
an enthusiast paper tear-er. Sure, she loved
looking at the pictures and colours in the books but absolutely hated to listen
quietly when I would read to her. Her enthusiasm to listen was lukewarm and was
a big struggle on my part to somehow make her sit with a book quietly.
My struggle to make her a good story listener was
becoming a battle. Her learning level was awesome, but interest to sit and listen
was too low and thus I stopped buying anymore story books. I bought her some very
basic small books of alphabets, animals and shapes that had laminated pages. Even
this couldn’t keep her assigned and she got bored after few days on looking at
the same pictures again and again!
Now what? It was a good time to add something in action.
Colgate
toothpaste got some fun and innovative way of storytelling which my
baby could play and learn on her own. Their innovative packets have treasures
hidden that stimulate children to flaunt their imagination. I have Magical Sea
World in 4 sets:
·
Pirate Hunt
·
Treasure Hunt
·
Pirate Ship
·
Coral Reef
She was
already so fascinated with the colourful pictures but didn’t know what to do. I
helped her to make the creatures and gave them 3D effect by cutting and fixing
it to the base as suggested. Voila!!! The fascinating sea world creatures
looked so exotic. She loved all the underwater fishes and mermaid became her
favourite.
Of course, she is too small to weave some stories
around these characters but while I started with my little stories around them-
she was interested and captured. Within few minutes she got hooked-Honestly! We
met all the magical sea world creatures (Pirate, Shark, Whale, black stingy
Ray, cute Dolphins...)!
This was tickling her curiosity to know more about
what happened with them, how and who are they? I love my little ones all surprising
expressions while I narrated her story and she also adds imaginative points for
#colgatemagicalstories
with the characters of Magical Sea World.
It was worth a try!
I hardly know to tell a very sugar-coated story and I
agree being bad at it. But, somehow I manage and she loves it! My father and
husband do awesome Story telling in a very creative way that is also full of expressions.
My Magical Sea World story-
Long ago there was a cute and beautiful princess
just like my baby. She lived with her father in a sparkling deep blue sea. Being
pretty she was kind and full of life. Her
best friends were the sea creatures with whom she would roam around in the sea
and have even fun exploring it.
But, one day the dolphin was in danger for being
caught. The seas horse went swimming quickly to the mermaid and informed her
about this. What did she see? It was the pirate ship pulling him. She called
the huge shark to help her and reuse the dolphin. He quickly shook his giant
tail and hit the ship. One of the pirates got hit badly and ran with his team
leaving the poor dolphin.
The moral of the story: UNITY IS STRENGTH
