Fun Things to Do With Your Diwali Coloring Pages

1. Make a Diwali Garland

After coloring your favorite Diwali PDF coloring sheets, cut out the images neatly around the borders. Use a hole punch at the top of each one, then string them together with ribbon or yarn. Hang your garland across a window, fireplace, or wall to bring Diwali cheer into your home or classroom. This is a fun group project for kids to do together, and each person can decorate their own piece!

2. Create Rangoli-Inspired Floor Art

Color one of the rangoli pattern coloring pages and cut it out. Glue it onto a sturdy piece of cardboard or poster board. You can laminate it or cover it with clear contact paper to make it durable. Lay these on the floor like traditional rangoli designs during Diwali. Add real flower petals, glitter, or beads around your coloring page to make it extra festive.

3. Design Your Own Diwali Greeting Cards

Take any of the smaller Diwali coloring sheets and fold a piece of cardstock in half to make a card. Color the image, cut it out, and glue it to the front of the card. Inside, write a sweet Diwali message like “Wishing You Light and Happiness” or “Happy Diwali!” These handmade cards are great to give to friends, family, or teachers.

4. Make a DIY Diwali Lantern

Pick a coloring page that has diya or lamp images. After coloring, cut the page into strips (vertical works best). Wrap the strips around a clean glass jar and glue or tape them down. Add a battery-powered tealight inside for a safe, glowing lantern. You can also punch holes in the paper before wrapping it around the jar to let light shine through in patterns.

5. Decorate a Diwali Activity Book

Print out several Diwali coloring pages and staple them together to make a mini activity book. Kids can work on one page a day leading up to Diwali. You can add blank pages in between for kids to write stories, jokes, or facts about Diwali. Decorate the front cover with stickers or glitter for a special touch.

6. Build a Diwali Wall Mural

Use a large poster board or even the back of a cardboard box to create a Diwali scene. Let each child color a different page — one might do fireworks, another might do diyas, and someone else can do gods and goddesses. Glue all the finished coloring sheets onto the board to make one big mural to display in your home or classroom.

7. Turn Coloring Pages into Placemats

After coloring, place each page in a clear plastic sleeve or laminate it. These make perfect festive placemats for a Diwali meal or snack time. Not only do they look great, but they also help keep the table clean. Let each person at the table pick their own favorite Diwali design!

8. Make a Countdown to Diwali Calendar

Use seven or ten different Diwali coloring pages, depending on how many days you want to count down. Number them and hang them in order on a wall. Each day, let your child color one page as they count down to the Festival of Lights. This makes the wait for Diwali even more exciting!

9. Create Hanging Mobile Decorations

Color and cut out Diwali symbols like diyas, fireworks, and elephants. Use a hanger or embroidery hoop as the base. Tie pieces of string to the colored images and hang them from the hoop. This makes a fun spinning mobile you can hang from the ceiling. It’s a neat decoration idea for Diwali parties too.

10. Make a Paper Puppet Show

Color pages with characters like kids celebrating Diwali, Goddess Lakshmi, or Lord Ganesha. Cut them out and glue them onto craft sticks or straws to create puppets. Use a cardboard box to make a small puppet theater and put on a Diwali story show for family and friends. This is a great way for kids to act out the story of Diwali!

11. Design a Diwali Puzzle

After your coloring page is finished, glue it onto a piece of cardboard. Use scissors to cut it into puzzle pieces — start with big shapes for younger kids and smaller ones for older children. Mix up the pieces and try to put your homemade Diwali puzzle back together!

12. Use as Party Decorations

If you’re hosting a Diwali party, use the coloring pages as part of your decor. Tape them on the walls, place them under clear plates as charger-style table mats, or hang them from the ceiling with string. You can even hand out blank coloring sheets as party activities for kids to color together.

13. Make a Story Flip Book

Color and cut out a series of pages that tell a story — for example, the legend of Rama and Sita. Staple or bind them together to create a flip book. Add captions or simple sentences under each image to tell the story. This is an awesome classroom project to teach the meaning behind Diwali in a fun way.

14. Diwali-Themed Bookmarks

Pick a coloring sheet with small images like candles or flowers. Color them in, then cut out long rectangles around each image. Glue onto thicker cardstock and laminate or tape for durability. Punch a hole at the top and add a ribbon. These bookmarks make sweet Diwali gifts for classmates and friends!

These fun crafts and activities will help bring your Diwali celebration to life. Whether you’re coloring alone, with your kids, or in a classroom, these free printable PDF coloring pages are a joyful way to get into the spirit of the season. Happy Diwali and happy coloring!
