Gulmohar Days is pleased to announce the launch of a "Mother & Toddler" programme for children within the ages of 10 months to 2.5 years. This programme will commence from December, 2009.

If the parent is unable to attend the sessions, the toddler is most welcome to attend with a grandparent/aunt or any other member of the family.
Sessions will consist of activities that assist in the growth of the child's motor skills, social development, language and conversation abilities along with an introduction to colours, art and music.
Session details:
Thrice a week: Monday, Wednesday, Friday
Timings: 10.30am to 11.45am
Age eligibility: 10 months - 2.5 years

"Coloured Views": 2 day Art Workshop for Adults
Greetings!
Feeling Blue? Seeing Red? Planning to Go Green?
Gulmohar Days is pleased to host "COLOURED VIEWS" : a 2-day art workshop for adults where participants can discover how colours help create evocative art, reveal character and enable a deeper understanding of personality.
Under the guidance of trained faculty, participants will use colours to depict themes and moods, portray emotions, and present feelings through their art. The workshop promises exciting experiments with different materials, painting and collage-making exercises – and a journey through the entire landscape of human emotions. Technique and self-expression combine to transform the way you view art – and yourself.
This workshop is open to all, irrespective of skill level or experience. Don’t be yellow!

Children's Day !
We had a busy and colourful weekend at Gulmohar Days.
Special congratulations to all the kids who put up their projects and made their wonderful presentations. From the exquisite collection of coins and currencies, the beauty of Sri Lanka, volcanoes that spewed lava, an explanation on earth and seasons, experiments on sound waves and photosynthesis, windmills and a challenging on-the-spot quiz, not to forget the wonderful short film on the environment theme....the Gulmohar Days library kids put up a grand show indeed! It was equally heart warming to see moms and dads come out in full force to enjoy the day's event.
As organisers, what we cherished most was how each child put in his best and performed with enthusiasm in spite of the fact that there was no prize or reward promised to the kids. We hope the experience has helped each child view himself/herself with greater confidence. Do enjoy the pictures !
