Diwali is right around the corner! The other day I
was trying to figure out how I actually feel about the Diwali holidays as a
mother. Well, turns out I’m equal parts relieved and confused; I feel relieved
for obvious reasons - no high-octane, rushed mornings! As a mother, my morning
routine is characterized by a flurry of activities - running around frantically
to gather school stuff, packing the lunch box, checking up on my kiddo every
now and then to see if she has not dozed off again, getting her dressed for
school, oh boy, I'm racing against the clock! So yeah, a 2-week break is hands
down, a welcome breather. I love it when my days are relaxed and peacefully
idle and that I can just do my own thing (most importantly, drink my coffee
when it’s hot!) and spend quality time with my daughter.
But there’s a flip side to this - how do I keep her
engaged? What do I do when I hear the dreaded “Mommy, I’m bored!”? Is there any
way by which I can keep my daughter's Diwali vacations playful and productive?
This is the confusing part I was talking about in the beginning. But as a mom,
I needed to find those answers on my own and I think I have found them. Given
below are some fun-filled, Diwali-apt activities that both you and your kids
will enjoy!
