Learning by Creating: Exploring Batik Flowers Through Project-Based Learning

At Global Sprouts, we believe the best kind of learning happens when children create, explore, and discover — and that’s what Project-Based Learning (PBL) is all about!

In Indonesia, Batik is more than just fabric — it’s a way of telling stories through color and pattern. Each swirl, flower, and dot represents something special from daily life, nature, or imagination. When children make their own Batik Flower Craft, they aren’t just coloring — they’re stepping into a centuries-old tradition that celebrates creativity and patience.

Through this hands-on project, your child practices fine motor skills, pattern recognition, and cultural understanding. They get to ask questions like “What do colors mean in different cultures?” or “How do people express stories through art?” — turning curiosity into real-world learning.

Project-Based Learning gives children ownership of their discoveries. By exploring Batik art, they don’t just make something beautiful — they understand why it’s meaningful.
