Embodied cognition suggests that physical engagement — like sculpting — deepens understanding and retention of knowledge. As children manipulate materials to create, they visualize and internalize the features of heritage sites more effectively.
1. Choose a famous Indian heritage site (e.g., Taj Mahal, Hampi). 2. Gather materials like clay, paper, or cardboard. 3. Sketch a simple design based on the site's features. 4.
