Colourful Holi scenes for different ages
This set includes simple Holi pictures with large spaces for younger children and more detailed scenes for older children. Your child may colour children playing with gulal, a pichkari, rangoli designs, flowers, festive food and family celebrations. Children in Nursery and LKG can practise staying inside bold outlines. Older children can add patterns, shading, labels or a short caption about their favourite Holi tradition. For related practice, you can pair these pages with Holi Worksheets when your child is ready for reading, matching or writing tasks.
Simple ways to use the pages
At home, choose one picture before Holi and talk about how your family celebrates. Put the finished page near the entrance or use it as a small festive card for a relative. In class, make a colour station with crayons and ask children to name warm and cool colours as they work. Older pupils can write two sentences below their picture, such as what people use during Holi and how to celebrate safely. You could also make a small display titled Our Holi Colours, with each child adding their name and one friendly festival message.
Small Holi facts children can remember
Holi is often called the festival of colours and is celebrated in many parts of India. It comes around spring, when people welcome brighter days and spend time with family and friends. In many traditions, Holika Dahan takes place before the main day of playing with colours. People may use gulal, which is coloured powder, and a pichkari, which is a water sprayer. Celebrations vary from place to place, so children can ask their family about local foods, songs and customs.
Lumi's tips
- For a younger child, offer just three crayons and point to the largest shapes first, such as the pichkari, flowers or gulal plate.
- For an older child, ask them to create a repeating rangoli border or write the Hindi word Holi beside a finished picture.
- Keep it connected to real life by asking your child to spot Holi colours, flowers and rangoli patterns during a family celebration or school event.
