This set includes simple pictures with large, bold spaces for younger children, along with more detailed designs for older children.

Children in Classes 1 to 5 can add patterns, backgrounds and their own colour choices. For another focused activity, try these Rakhi Coloring Pages.
Ideas for home and class
At home, offer one picture before the festival and talk about whom your child would like to thank or care for. After colouring, your child can cut out the picture and use it as a greeting card or a small decoration. In class, set up a colouring table with crayons, colour pencils and safe glitter-free craft materials. Invite children to share one kind act they can do for a sibling, cousin, friend or family member. Display the finished work on a festival noticeboard.
Simple Raksha Bandhan facts for children
Raksha Bandhan is a festival about care, affection and family bonds. A rakhi is a decorative thread or bracelet that is tied around the wrist as a loving gesture. Many families celebrate with a rakhi ceremony, sweets and small gifts. Raksha Bandhan is usually celebrated on the full moon day in the Hindu month of Shravan, so its date changes each year. Traditions vary between families, and children can learn that kindness and respect are at the heart of the celebration.
Lumi's tips
- For younger children, point to each large section and name two or three colours they can choose from.
- For older children, ask them to create a repeating pattern on the rakhi and add a decorated background showing a family celebration.
- Keep it connected to real life by inviting your child to draw a small thank-you note for a sibling, cousin or another caring person.
