Diwali is the Indian festival of lights, usually lasting five days and celebrated during the Hindu Lunisolar month Kartika. One of the most popular festivals of Hinduism, Diwali symbolizes the spiritual "victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance"
Celebrate Diwali
Diyas
There are several symbols of Diwali that have become a traditional image for learning about with young children. Diyas are a clay lamp filled with oil that are lite up the night of Diwali.
Sparkler
These play sparklers have a lovely crackling sound to them too that makes the firework experience all the more life-like! I think they’re a great way for children to re-enact and play make-believe firework celebrations all year
Beaded Hanging- Toran
Make a beaded hanging or ‘Toran’ to celebrate Diwali. These special decorations are hung above doorways to welcome guests to Hindu festivals and special events and celebrations.
