Free Holi Colouring page

Holi, the vibrant festival of colours, isn't just a daytime celebration! As the sun sets, the magic continues with bonfires, songs, and the twinkling night sky. To help your little ones connect with this beautiful tradition, we've created a free printable colouring page featuring a cosy Holi bonfire, surrounded by shining stars and a gentle moon.
Why Holi's Night Sky?
Holi is a time for families and communities to come together, celebrating the triumph of good over evil and the arrival of spring. The bonfire, or "Holika Dahan," is a significant part of the festival, symbolising the burning away of negativity. Even as night falls, the spirit of Holi remains bright, with the stars and moon witnessing the joyful festivities.

This colouring page isn't just a fun activity; it's a gentle introduction to the cultural significance of Holi. As children fill the page with their favourite colours, you can talk about:

- The Night Sky: Discuss how celebrations continue into the night, showcasing the festive spirit.
