Kali, the divine Protector of Earth, also known as Kalika is a Hindu goddess . But due to her destructive powers Kali is also known as “Dark Mother”. The name Kali is derived from the Sanskrit word “Kala” or time. She, therefore, represents Time, Change, Power, Creation, Preservation and Destruction. “Kali” also mean “the black one”, the feminine noun of the Sanskrit adjective Kala.

She is considered as a ferocious form of Durga/Parvati, who is the consort of Lord Shiva. Kali Ma is simultaneously portrayed as the giver, the one who bestows moksha or liberation and destructor, principally of evil forces. However, in most of the interpretations, she is portrayed as ferocious and evil. She is the mother of the world and the treasure-house of compassion. She is considered as the primordial mass from which all life arose.

DIY - Magical Fairy Jar

╔════════════════ ❀•°❀°•❀ ═════════════════╗              

Let's make a super-duper cute craft together! Today, we're going to make a "Magical Fairy Jar"! 🧚✨

Here's what you'll need:

A clean, empty glass jar with a lid (ask a caregiver for help if it's too difficult to open!)

Sparkly glitter that can glow in the dark or be all colorful

Clear glue (or Mod Podge)

Little toys, like teeny-tiny fairies or adorable animals

See-through, colorful paper (like what you'd find on candy)

A paintbrush

Scissors (Be super carefuls!)

A bowl for mixing (maybe an old one from the kitchen)

Step 1: Getting the Jar Ready

First, make sure your jar is all clean and dry. You can ask a caregiver to help with this part if you need to, as well!

Step 2: Make the Inside Magical

Time to make the inside all shiny and dreamy! Mix the clear glue with the glowy or colorful glitter in a big bowl. Keep mixing until it's super sparkly.

Step 3: Paint Inside the Jar

Use your paintbrush to paint the inside of your jar with the sparkly, gluey mix. Make it as shiny as a fairy's smile! Don't forget to paint the lid too if you want.

Step 4: Bring in the Magic

Now, add your tiny toy friends to the jar. Place them inside so they can have lots of fun. You can make them dance or have adventures!

Step 5: Paper Rainbow

Cut up the see-through, colorful paper into little pieces. You can use all sorts of colors. These bits will make your jar even more magical when the light shines through.

Step 6: Seal the Magic

Now, twist the lid onto your jar. Make it nice and tight, so none of the fairy magic escapes. If you want to be extra safe, you can glue the lid shut.

Step 7: Let the Magic Glow

Place your jar where the sunlight can visit it during the day. Then, when it's time for bedtime or when you need some cozy, turn off the lights and watch your fairy jar light up the night (if you used the glow in the dark sparkles!)

And there you go, your very own Magical Fairy Jar! It's like having a little piece of wonder and magic right in your room. Whenever you want to feel dreamy and cozy, just peek at your jar and let the fairy magic make you smile! 🌟🧚💕
