Last year sunny boy (3 years old) and I did a lot of Diwali projects together. The aim was to teach my boy about the festival. Festivals are a important part of any culture. I think it's my responsibility as a mom to make sure that he knows about atleast the major festivals in hindu culture, Diwali being on the top of the list. I made a list of activities which makes a child excited about a festival or event. I feel "getting them involved" makes it special. So I made a long list of Diwali projects and this is one of them.
To make a faux marigold / diwali wreath, we used a plain wreath from a diy shop, orange and yellow colored wool and glue. The color matches the color of marigold flowers. I made the pom poms with this simple technique.
I made them while he was in school. Later in the afternoon, I gave him the pompoms, wreath and glue. I showed him how to glue them on the wreath. Rest he glued himself, I just made sure he covers all the area.
This is a pinterest inspired project.
