From Artist to Classroom: Exploring Ogoh-Ogoh with Our Young Learners

Created on 22 January 2026, At Kipinä Kids Bali, we believe that learning becomes more meaningful when children are connected with real experiences from their community. Recently, we had a very special session where we invited one of our parents, who has a unique and inspiring profession as an Ogoh-Ogoh artist, to share his knowledge and creativity with our students.

During this visit, the children learned about Ogoh-Ogoh, a traditional Balinese art form commonly seen during the Nyepi celebration. Our guest shared stories about his work as an Ogoh-Ogoh artist how ideas are created, the materials used, and the process of bringing each figure to life. The students from Nursery 1 (N1) to Kindergarten 2 (K2) listened with great enthusiasm, showing curiosity and excitement throughout the session.

To continue the learning experience, the children participated in a hands-on art activity by creating their own miniature Ogoh-Ogoh using paper and sticks. This activity supported the development of creativity, imagination, and fine motor skills, while also encouraging self-expression through art.

Through this meaningful activity, the students gained a deeper appreciation of local culture and community roles, while learning in a fun, engaging, and play-based environment. Inviting parents to share their professions is part of Kipinä’s approach to 21st-century learning, where children learn through real-life experiences, collaboration, and creativity.

It was a joyful day filled with cultural exploration, creativity, and inspirationmaking learning truly come alive at Kipinä Kids Bali.
