11 Diwali Art And Craft For Kids

Introduction

Diwali is a colorful festival that brings in happiness and joy. It’s celebrated across the country with great pomp and show. The festival is celebrated with lots of enthusiasm by people belonging to all age groups. Diwali has its own significance and charm when we celebrate this festival with our loved ones. You can make your kids happy by teaching them how to make these DIY crafts for diwali at home, which will add more color to their lives during this festive season!

Clay Diya

Clay Diya is a traditional Diwali craft, which is made with children. Clay diya also known as clay lamp or earthen lamps are used during the festival of Deepavali. It is made of clay and painted by children. You can paint it with your child’s favorite colors and even decorate it with beads or glitter.

Paper Quilling Peacock

Paper quilling is a form of art that has been practiced for thousands of years. It was first developed in India and later spread to China, where it became a popular craft. The word “quilling” comes from the German word “kleben”, which means “to glue”. Paper quilling is similar to origami in that both arts involve folding paper around a shape, but it differs in that the folds are done with thread instead of glue and there’s no cutting involved.

Paper quilling involves rolling paper strips around a thin wire or needle until they form into shapes like flowers or animals. To do this, you’ll need:

• A rolling pin (or something similar)
• Scissors (for cutting your strips)

Colourful Rangoli

Rangoli is a popular Indian art form that has been around for centuries. It is used to decorate homes, temples and other places during festivals like Diwali. During this festival, families and friends gather together to make rangoli designs outside or inside the house by using colored rice powder, chalk powder or flower petals. Rangolis are also made on the floors of temples especially in South India where people pay respect to Lord Ganesha.

Rangolis can be easily done by children because they do not require any special skills or tools; all you need are some colourful items such as dry leaves, flowers/petals of marigold/hibiscus/jasmine etc., colourful stones like sea shells and rocks you find in your garden; even coloured sand can be used if there is no other option available at hand! Just grab those things lying around at home today itself so that tomorrow morning when you wake up early with excitement about celebrating this special occasion together with your little ones who would love nothing more than being part of such an important ritual at their age too (and this might just help them understand why fireworks are lit up too).

Popsicle Stick Cracklers

Materials needed:

• Popsicle sticks
• Scissors
• Tape or glue
• Paper for wrapping cracklers in (optional)

Leaf-Printed Greeting Cards

Materials

• Cardstock (one for each card)
• Scissors (to cut the cardstock)
• Stencils of leaves, flowers and other shapes that you can buy from a craft store or use your imagination to draw them yourself on paper and trace them onto the cardstock using a pencil. The stencils will help you create repetitive patterns quickly on your cards without much effort. You can also use crayons, paints or markers to color the designs once they are printed on the cards. You can even draw your own designs if you are not comfortable making leaf prints yet!

Abstract Ganpati Craft

Materials:

• Paper plate
• Pencil or pen
• Scissors
• Felt tip pens in different colors.

Steps:

• Take a paper plate and draw the Ganpati pattern on it with a pencil or pen. Cut out this pattern carefully with scissors, but make sure that you don’t cut too close to the edge of the paper plate. You want enough room so that your child can color around it easily. If they go over too far, they could end up smudging their work by accident when they try to fill in some spaces!
• Now let your child draw their own design within these borders using felt tip pens of different colors—you can even use glittery shades if you like!

Pot Painting

This is a great way to decorate your home, especially since it involves using an empty pot. You can use any type of pot you have lying around the house. If you don’t have any pots, no worries! You can also do this on paper plates!

• Start off by painting your pot or plate with a bright color that’s going to stand out against the background of your wall. We chose blue because it’s one of our favorite colors, but you could choose whatever color you like best!
• Once your paint has dried, fill in all the remaining spaces with white paint using either a brush or q-tips (which are great for getting into tight corners). Be sure to cover over all areas so they’re completely filled in with white paint; this will help ensure things stay clean looking when we start adding details later on!

Diya Painting

• Take a toothpick and apply the glue on the base.
• Use a paintbrush to apply the paint. You can use any color of your choice.
• Use a paintbrush to apply glitter on top of the paint, if you want to add more shine to it!

Diwali Candle Holder Craft

Materials required to make a candle holder:

Two pieces of paper (a bigger one in the color you want and a smaller one which will be used as a lid)

One piece of paper (used to wrap around the candles)

2 paper clips (to hold both papers together)

1 paper clip (for decoration purposes)

Diwali greetings card craft.

Materials needed:

• Cardstock
• Glue
• Scissors.

Colouring methods:

• Crayons – For making the background of the greeting card, you can use crayons in different colours to draw different patterns on it and then fill them with colour using a brush or your fingers. If you want to colour outside the lines, that’s fine as well! You can also colour all over except one part of your page so that when you cut it into pieces, they will look like a puzzle piece (a picture frame around the main picture). Our Diwali greeting card craft idea gives more options so that children can choose their favourite way to create these cards!
