A Room Full of Wreaths, Smiles, and Christmas Cheer

On 14th December 2025, the EI witnessed something quietly magical.

As tiny hands held paper, scissors, and glue, the Activity Room slowly transformed into a small world of colour, laughter, and concentration.

Our Christmas Craft – Wreath Making Workshop brought together children aged 8 to 11 years for a joyful hour of creativity — and what unfolded was far more beautiful than just handmade wreaths.

This was also a special milestone for EI Library —

our very first paid activity, kept intentionally simple and accessible. We charged only ₹85 per child, covering the activity room and craft material. The idea was never commercial; it was to make creative learning.

At the heart of this session was Ms. Anita Oberoi, who led the workshop with quiet brilliance.

Anita ji personally planned every detail of the activity — sourcing all the materials, preparing semi-finished templates, estimating time flows, and designing the session so that each child could complete their wreath comfortably within an hour.

This level of preparation doesn’t come from a checklist — it comes from experience, care, and genuine love for children.

What makes her effort even more meaningful is that she chose to do this at a time when she didn’t have to — giving her personal time purely to create something special for our kids.

That kind of contribution can only be described as heartfelt.

Once the session began, the room slipped into a gentle rhythm — focused eyes, tiny hands at work, volunteers moving quietly around, and soft chatter filling the air. The children were completely absorbed.

Cutting, folding, pasting, arranging — each wreath slowly became a reflection of a child’s imagination.

And when they were done, the room lit up.

Thirty proud little artists stood holding their wreaths — smiling, comparing designs, and calling their parents to see what they had made. The cuteness in that room was simply overflowing.

We are deeply thankful to all the volunteers who supported the children patiently and to the parents who trusted EI Library with their little ones.

Your warm feedback after the session felt like a blessing — and an encouragement for us to continue creating more such meaningful, heart-warming experiences.

This was not just a craft session.

It was a reminder that when community, care, and creativity come together, something truly beautiful is created — both on paper and in hearts. 🎄
