Amazing and Creative Diwali Craft Ideas for Kids
1. Diya Painting
Kids love to paint. Give them some Diya and watercolours and let the creativity come out from them. After colouring the diyas, they can make simple designs, can stick pearls or lace on it.
2. Diwali Hanging Decorations
On Diwali, we use hangings on doors, windows and walls to decorate our house. What if kids can make them at home? Sounds interesting! Oh yes, they can easily make DIY hangings with old ribbons, real flowers, colourful papers or other everyday materials and turn it into a beauty.
3. Rangoli
Rangoli is such a beautiful thing to decorate the house. There are readymade rangoli prints available in the market but the real happiness is making our own.
Let your kids make rangoli this time. If they find it difficult then you can purchase stencil from the market. With the help of a stencil, they can easily make it.
Other than rangoli colours, they can make it with flowers, rice, cereals. So this Diwali tries something different.
4. Bangle Lamp Holder
We all have some bangles at home which we don’t use. We can use these bangles as a bangle lamp holder to decorate the house.
Just take a few bangles and paste them one above the other to create a small tower. Any higher that it will cover the flame of the Diya completely.

Mandala is a spiritual symbol in Hinduism, represent the universe. Make some beautiful and simple mandalas on a paper plate and decorate it on the wall or as a side piece. Kids can make mandala on it using watercolours, sketch pens, 3D Cone outliner and paper cuttings.
