Dussehra and First Letters: Vidyarambham Tracing and Letter Hunt
Children learn about Vidyarambham, when little children write their first letters in rice on Vijayadashami, and about Dussehra, when Rama won against Ravana. They trace letters, sort things we use to learn, count to 10 and match letters to beginning sounds.
