Introducing Cultural Heritage Early: CIS Preschool Sidoarjo Celebrates Batik Day with Fun and Educational Activities

SIDOARJO – In celebration of National Batik Day, CIS Preschool Sidoarjo held a series of engaging and educational activities designed to introduce Indonesia's rich cultural heritage to young learners.

During the event, students explored various traditional Indonesian batik patterns, including Bunga Manis (Pekalongan), Parang (Yogya/Solo), Parang Kembang, Buketan, and Tambal motifs. Teachers guided the children using real batik fabrics, allowing them to observe and touch the authentic patterns and textures firsthand.

In addition to learning about batik patterns, students participated in hands-on creative crafting by stamping batik designs onto paper using child-safe paints under teacher guidance. Dressed in their colorful batik outfits, the children eagerly engaged in every session.

Through this Batik Day celebration, CIS Preschool Sidoarjo aims to instill national pride, foster appreciation for local traditions, and spark early childhood creativity.
