Diwali in a box

This DIY Diwali kit educates children about the true essence of the festival, and makes it fun and creative too

What can be more intriguing for children than painting diyas and decorating them for Diwali? Well, it is teaching them about the true spirit and legacy of the festival. A combination of fun and learning, we found both in the Family Festive Box by educationist Erika Cunha. An early childhood educator and counsellor for three decades, Cunha believes in enriching, engaging, educating, and entertaining to make kids better citizens. 

Each kit contains six creative decorations (rangoli, lanterns, torans, diyas, etc) along with paints, sparkly sequins, and mirrors for decoration. What we liked the most is the Story of Diwali flashcard game. It has the Diwali narrative written and designed intriguingly, making even our six-year-old learn the story, sharing it with every guest who now comes home. It’s the kind of inclusion one wants to raise children with.
