Summary: A Beautiful Cloth | EVS for Class 3 PDF Download

Summary

• Sajida received a beautiful dupatta from her sister.
• The dupatta was embellished with beautiful embroidery and small mirrors.
• Sajida experimented with different ways to wear the dupatta after finishing dinner.
• She eventually became tired of playing with the dupatta and fell asleep while wearing it.

Activity 1: Weaving Paper

• Take two different coloured papers.
• Draw vertical and horizontal lines on one piece of paper.
• Both papers should be cut along the marked lines. Take care not to let the strips separate completely.
• As shown in the image, stack one paper on top of the other along the edges (in colour). Stick the edges together.
• To make a mat, weave the strips together.
• To keep the mat from opening up, use tape or a paper border around the edges.

Printing on Cloth

• You saw designs of flowers and leaves made on cloth in the lesson 'The Plant Fairy.'
• Cut-vegetable designs can be made by you as well.
• Cut a cauliflower or lady finger into small pieces.
• To make your own designs, paint the cut face and make prints on a piece of paper or cloth.
