A varied Diwali colouring set
The set brings together simple Diwali pictures and more detailed scenes, so younger children can work with large shapes while older children can enjoy patterns and small details. Children may colour diyas, rangoli designs, lanterns, torans, sweets, gift boxes and families preparing for the festival. The pictures give children a gentle way to talk about Diwali while they colour. Younger children can name objects and colours. Older children can add their own borders, patterns and short captions.
Ideas for home and class
At home, offer one picture after a Diwali story or while your child listens to festive music. Ask your child to choose colours for a diya or make a repeating pattern for a rangoli design. In class, use the pages for a quiet art centre, then display the finished work on a noticeboard. Children can compare warm and cool colours, label familiar objects, or write one sentence about how their family celebrates Diwali. For more activities, pair this set with Diwali Activities for Kids.
Small Diwali facts to share
Diwali is often called the Festival of Lights because many families light diyas, which are small oil lamps. Rangoli is a decorative pattern made near an entrance or in a central place, using colours, flowers, rice or other materials. Diwali is celebrated over several days, and customs differ between families and regions in India. Some families exchange sweets and gifts, clean their homes, pray, or visit relatives. Sharing these simple facts can help your child connect the colouring pictures with real festival traditions.
Lumi's tips
- For a younger child, name each object and offer two or three crayons that match the picture, such as yellow for a diya flame and bright colours for rangoli.
- For an older child, ask them to create a repeating rangoli border or write a short greeting in English or Hindi beside their picture.
- After colouring a diya or rangoli, look at a real one at home or in your neighbourhood and talk about its shape, colours and safe placement.
