Pijo was known as a hard worker and his cheeks were red, while Penda's skin was snow-white. Thus, the two colors – red and white – are present in the martenitsa, as a symbol of new beginnings and the awakening of nature in spring.
The print is perfect for entertaining children, for parent-child play, or for adults to relax.
You will need: colored pencils/crayons/markers, scissors and a March mood! An ideal opportunity to develop fine motor skills and to talk about Martenitsa and folk customs.
