When it comes to being resourceful, Anganwadi teachers set a practical example worth emulating.

These teachers often need to be resourceful and creative due to limited funding.

Not only the Anganwadi teachers but the entire community comes to help them by collecting locally available resources from the community.

Here are some innovative ways everyone joins hands to create Teaching Learning Material (TLM):

Recycling Materials: Old magazines, newspapers, fabric scraps, and cardboard boxes are repurposed into educational tools such as flashcards, puzzles, and puppets.

Natural Resources: Stones, leaves, sticks, and seeds are used in various learning activities. For example, stones can be painted to make counting stones, and leaves can be used for leaf tracing activities.

Engaging parents and community members in the creation of TLM fosters a sense of ownership and support for the Anganwadi center.

Workshops are held to teach parents how to make simple educational tools at home.

Teaching Learning Materials are integral to the success of early childhood education in Anganwadi centers.

By leveraging creativity and community support, Anganwadi teachers overcome resource limitations and provide a rich, engaging, and effective learning environment for young children.

This foundational education sets the stage for lifelong learning and development.
