Diwali is one festival for which everyone waits eagerly, be it adults of kids. Diwali means celebrations and get together and lighting and sweets and happiness everywhere. We all start Diwali preparations from almost a month prior which includes extensive cleaning, soring stuff, organizing and decorations.

Due to the pandemic this year, the celebrations will be limited and restricted to fewer people. Many of us are unable to travel to be with families on this biggest and most auspicious time of the year.

The Diwali celebrations this year will be limited with own family members only, which is discouraging and definitely lets down the festive spirit of kids, who wait to meet and greet everyone Diwali wishes.

How to celebrate Diwali at Home with Kids?

House Cleaning

Diwali is the best time to get rid of useless stuff and find some long lost treasures, and clean all those difficult corners once a year. Start cleaning few weeks prior so that you are not tired by the time it’s Diwali and best way is to show kids the importance of cleaning, hygiene and organization and request them to co-operate and participate.

Dressing Up at home

Not going out definitely does not mean not dressing up for the festival and Laxmi poojan. Remember “Diwali is the symbol of victory of good over evil.”

So fight your inner demons and bring out positivity and get all decked up with bright colored clothes. 

Make sweets at home

Since the number of guests and ordering outside sweets is limited this Diwali season, so try to make sweets, mithai, laddoos, kheer, halwa at home.
