Encourage your children to make Di wali gifts.
Get earthen diyas and put them in water dry.
Let your children paint the diyas as creatively as possible – stick bindis, beeds, gotas, daals, silver and gold powder… (let their imagination run but have supplies beforehand).
Prepare candle-wicks by dipping pieces of plumber’s thread into hot wax and letting them dry.
Once done, help them out by pouring hot wax into the diya.
Insert wicks immediately and hold still till set.
Wrap up and go gifting.
