Festivals of India with Kiara's Learning Resources

Indian Festival Activity Bundle for Kids (Ages 2.5–5): Holi, Krishna, Ganesha, Dussehra, Diwali & Ramadan

I wanted my daughter to know why we celebrate, not just that we do. But every festival printable I found was either a colouring page and nothing else, or far too hard for a little one.

So I made these: six festival packs, 85 pages in total, where every page is something a small child can actually do. Trace the line, count the diyas, match the shadow, cut and paste the modak, find the odd one out.

What’s inside

• Holi (32 pages): 15 worksheets covering counting, coding, a logic table, spot the difference, a Holi safety check, scissor skills, tracing and a letter hunt. It also has colouring pages, 3 dot-colouring pages, a parent guide, and 10 Montessori-style sensory activities (gulal colour sorting, pichkari water play, balloon transfer, colour mixing and more). Each one lists what you need and how to offer it.
• Little Krishna (11 pages): Makhan chor tracing, a matki maze, counting and writing, shadow matching, circle the bigger matki, missing letters and a colouring page.
• Lord Ganesha (11 pages): Helping Mushak reach Ganpati with line tracing, cut-and-paste modaks, counting ladoos, a modak maze, a shapes Ganesha to build and word-to-picture matching.
• Dussehra & Navratri (11 pages): Dussehra vocabulary, matching Garba dance shadows, an arrow maze, dandiya pattern tracing, the nine forms of Maa Durga, colour-by-code Garba art and a number-matching Ravan to complete.
• Diwali (11 pages): Diya counting, cut-and-paste Diwali words and patterns, rocket colours, build-the-firework, lantern colouring, and “cross the smallest” and odd-one-out puzzles.
• Ramadan Kareem Activity Booklet (9 pages): Lantern colouring, a good deeds heart challenge, design your own iftar plate, counting 1–10 with number tracing, an iftar maze and drum counting. It’s in black and white, so your child gets to colour it all.

Counting 1–10, number and letter recognition, pre-writing and line tracing, scissor skills, matching, patterns, comparing sizes, visual discrimination, simple logic and fine motor control. Along the way they pick up the stories and symbols behind each festival.
