Our first coop-class on Indus Valley Civilization at last happened. Once more Idania welcomed us at her home in Pune. Every kid received from her a fabulous looking folder containing the class schedule, an introductive note, the few notebooking pages to be filled for the next class, and colouring pages. Sanyukta said it right when she declared that Idania Aunty is really professional!

| Wonderful folders prepared by Idania |
After all introductions were done, kids came together in front of the TV to watch Sanyukta's powerpoint presentation on Indus Valley toys. We got to learn that Harappans' favourite plaything was the toy cart.
After listening to the powerpoint presentation, all kids sat down to work with clay. For the purpose, Idania had prepared several loaves of salt dough, enough to create a thousand artifacts and fill Delhi's National Museum.
Here are a few pics of what kids and their creative mums did…
