How to Print and Download

  • Use the Download PDF button for the US Letter file, or choose the A4 link if that paper size fits your printer.
  • Print in portrait orientation and select “fit to page” so the whole drawing stays inside the printable area.
  • Black-and-white printing saves ink and keeps the lines crisp for crayons, pencils or markers.
  • Try cardstock for classroom displays, greeting cards, garlands or take-home Diwali crafts.
  • To print one sheet, use the Print or Download PDF button on that sheet's card.

Coloring Tips and Ideas

  • For easy Diwali coloring pages, offer crayons first. Big diya and lantern shapes are friendly for small hands.
  • Use colored pencils for rangoli details, dots, petals and paisley shapes.
  • For markers, place scrap paper underneath so the ink does not bleed onto the table.
  • Invite kids to choose a warm light palette for diyas and a mixed flower palette for rangoli patterns.
  • For preschoolers, color one big shape together and leave the rest for another day.
  • For detailed pages, color one ring or one corner at a time to keep the activity calm and doable.
