About Us

Yeah!! This page is 'About Us' and not 'About Me'! First, I want to "Thank you!!" for stopping by! Sindhu's Cocoon is jointly built by me and my little one (LO), and we started building this in 2017. We both make a great companionship and contribute to this page equally!! My little one (LO) is Aarush😍 and I'm Sindhumathi... 😊😊

What made me start blogging?

I'm a software engineer turned SAHM (Stay-at-home-mom). LO was blessed to us in May 2014. After that, as for every mother, the world had completely changed for me. We spent his early childhood in the USA for about 3-4 years, and during that time he was my world and vice-versa. I always look for new creative ways to engage LO with fun activities and kid activities. I wanted to make his childhood days colorful and unforgettable. So I started to do DIY home activities with him and wanted to save those precious moments in a space, which led me to start Sindhu's Cocoon. I started to update the blog (not on a regular basis though!!!!) whenever we did an activity. After returning to India in June 2018, I couldn't update the blog on a regular basis due to personal commitments.

I started Sindhu's Cocoon with the free blogging platform, blogspot.com. I didn't do much research on what's the best platform. I decided on blogspot and immediately started to write my first post. My first few posts were completely out of topic!! Those were on general topics!! At that time, I had different ideas. I wanted to publish posts both on kids' activities and general topics of my interests. Then I stopped my write-ups on general topics because I couldn't think of a satisfactory one that would satisfy all sectors of people.

What exactly do I do?

Simple! Plan an activity, do the setup, click pictures, edit them, and post along with a write-up! I capture pictures using my Nikon DSLR camera, and at times with a Sony PowerShot too. The frequency of the update is one post per week, if everything falls in place!!

About Sindhu's Cocoon...

The main motto of launching the blog is to support new mommies with activity ideas for their young ones. We focus on providing fun activities for kids that are easy to set up, with cheap materials, for all ages. Our activities for children include preschool activities, kindergarten activities, and even rainy day activities to keep kids engaged indoors. The posts are flooded with colorful pics, so as to be self-explanatory, easy to do with your kids... I'm sure these kinds of activities would fritter away kids' time in a constructive way and keep your kids away from gadgets. We have two tabs, Interlood and Kids World, in our blog. Quick Gallery Links is under work!!

The Journey so far...

Now (in 2020), it's amazing to see we have more than 100 posts in our blog!!! That's an amazing journey, I would say...! Initially, I planned activities for him with the toys we had. Those were based on fine motor activities, sensory activities, introducing alphabets, and so on. As he grew up, the ideas emerged from him!! I need not plan or think much about the hands-on! And now we also have a few STEM-based posts here! Can't believe he is growing fast.

Our blog now covers a wide range of fun activities, including pattern activities, counting activities, matching activities, and literacy activities. We're always looking for new innovative ideas to keep children engaged, especially to provide screen-free activities. We've even started incorporating movement activities to help kids stay active and healthy!

Looking to have my own domain... will launch it soon! Please leave your comments in the comment section, and suggestions to improve the blog are welcome!! 😊😊 Continue your support and keep checking this space for amazing, marvelous posts about kids activities and fun activity ideas! 😍

Loads of Love,

Aarush and Sindhu😍
