After a long tiring day, you would not want to play or indulge in any activities with them. Here comes the great IDEA!

"Mommy, look at that rainbow in the sky, please bring it for me"
what your child must be feeling every time they see a rainbow. Right?
Time to make your little ones wish come true. Make a rainbow in a plate with this simple candy experiment. What you need is a packet of Gems or M&M. Line up the gems around the circle on a plate, creating a colourful pattern. Add water to discover how colours melt off the candies to form a rainbow in your plate. Gems are coated with food colouring. Water dissolves this food colouring to make water colourful. Without the coloured coating, all of them appear alike.
Holi isn’t about pouring colour neatly; it is just about splashing it all around and making a mess. Making cards is a lovely craft where you can make paint splatters look beautiful and gift them to your loved ones.
Sometimes the less you plan, the better your project turns out. These paint splatter Holi cards are an example of this. Get the kids to create random patterns with free-flowing liquid paints on the cards. You’ll be surprised at how impressive the card turned out with such little effort.
Why leave the fathers aloof during the activities! Give a twist to water balloons splat this time with water balloon cricket. Bowl in the water balloons and your child has to hit them with a cricket bat. All you need is plenty of balloons. That's super exciting and family fun activity.
This is a wonderful outdoor water game for kids that makes it a perfect fun Holi game. With a bit of rules added in, both you and your children will love it. Pretty easy to set-up, all you need is a big dish. Fill it with water and let your children sit around it in a circle. All players take turns in rolling the dice and the lucky one who lands up with a six, gets to slap his/her hands into the water dish, splashing the water on everyone!

This Holi, make a hand print t-shirt with your loved one. Grab an old plain white or any other solid t-shirt in a light colour and spread it upfront. Now comes the fun part.

Dry in shade and ta-da- your Holi t-shirt is ready to wear and flaunt.
Flowers are the most colourful creation of God. And using different colours to create craft makes it more vibrant and attractive.
Grab a marigold flower, paints of different colours and few white sheets. Create contrasting designs by dipping the flower in different colours and using it on white sheets to make beautiful designs.
