Diwali Art and Craft Workshops for Kids
Bring the magic of Diwali home with guided art sessions where kids get messy, creative, and craft their own festive decor.
A Diwali playdate filled with color, calm, and creativity. These girls spent a joyful afternoon painting mandalas, chatting, and adding their own unique sparkle to each design. The final group photo with their art is priceless.
For younger kids, a Diwali playdate can include simpler crafts like decorating pre-made diyas with paint and stick-on jewels. It's a great sensory activity that lets them be part of the festive preparations.
Here's what Diwali looks like at my workshops: tables buzzing with activity, from mandala painting to diya decorating. It's all about providing a space for kids to create and celebrate together.
Look at the focus on this little one's face. Using sticker sheets is a fantastic, mess-free way for toddlers to participate in diya decoration and feel a great sense of accomplishment.

My Diwali craft sessions include a variety of projects. Here you can see kids working on flower-shaped diya holders and personalized wall hangings with tassels, all ready to adorn their homes.
From colorful pom-poms to glittery paper, I bring baskets full of materials to get everyone into the festive spirit. This video shows kids working on various Diwali crafts, including lanterns and decorative hangings.
Mandala painting is a versatile activity that can be adapted for any celebration. This was a special Janmashtami birthday party where the kids created these beautiful, intricate designs as part of the festivities.
I love creating a complete festive experience. Here's one of my custom craft kits, perfectly matching the 'Sparkle like it's Diwali' theme of the party decor.
About Diwali Lights & Crafts
I handle all the setup and the cleanup so you can focus on the fun. Whether it is acrylic paint for diya decoration or the glue needed for toran making, I bring all the aprons, easels, and table covers. You just provide the space, and I bring the studio to your living room or party venue anywhere in Mumbai.
A Festive Space for Little Artists
Diwali is the perfect time to slow down and let kids explore their creativity. In these workshops, I focus on the joy of making rather than the final result. There are no loud games or competitions here. Instead, children get to experiment at their own pace, finding a sense of accomplishment in every stroke of the brush or placement of a sticker.
Workshop Activities
I offer a variety of hands-on activities that fit perfectly into a festive playdate or family gathering:
- Diya & Candle Decoration: Using bright acrylics, glitter, and stick-on jewels to transform plain diyas into unique pieces of art.
- Mandala Painting: A calming, focused activity where kids learn to create beautiful, symmetrical patterns on board. It is great for developing fine motor skills and patience.
- Toran Making: Crafting festive wall hangings using paper, mirrors, and tassels that the kids can proudly hang up at home.
What to Expect
Each workshop typically runs for 60 to 90 minutes. I provide all the materials, including paints, brushes, sponges, and decorative elements like sequins and mirrors. Because I use kid-friendly supplies and set up protective table covers, you do not have to worry about the mess. I also make sure the final artworks are packaged properly so they are safe to transport home. Whether you are hosting a small playdate or a larger party, I ensure the process is stress-free for you and truly magical for the children.
Kids Palette
I started Kids Palette eleven years ago because I wanted to create memories, not just crafts. Seeing kids get lost in the joy of creating something with their own hands, without worrying about perfection, is my favourite part of the festival. Let's make this Diwali memorable for your little ones.
