Holi Worksheets

Colouring pages for different ages

This set includes both easy pictures with large spaces and busier scenes with more details. Younger children can colour gulal bowls, water sprays, flowers and simple festival objects. Older children can work on people, patterns, decorated pots and scenes with several objects to notice. The pictures give children a way to talk about Holi while they practise staying inside outlines, choosing colours and adding their own details. Offer two or three colour choices to a younger child, while an older child can plan a colour scheme before starting.

Ideas for home and school

At home, let your child colour one picture before Holi and use it as a card or a small decoration. Talk about safe, kind ways to celebrate, such as asking before applying colour and keeping colour away from the eyes. In class, use a picture as a calm table activity after a Holi story or discussion. Children can label colours in English or Hindi, compare warm and cool colours, or make a class display with a sentence about celebrating with family and friends. You can pair this set with Holi Activities for Kids for more table work.

Three child-friendly Holi facts

Holi is often called the festival of colours and is celebrated in many parts of India in spring. The evening before Holi, some communities mark Holika Dahan with a bonfire, linked to the story of Prahlada and his devotion. On the main day, people may play with coloured powder called gulal, meet relatives and share festive foods. Customs differ between families and regions, so invite your child to share how Holi is celebrated at home. Remind children that clean water, gentle play and permission make the celebration kinder for everyone.
