Pookalam (Floral Rangoli): Use colorful flower petals to create simple Pookalams on the floor. If using real flowers isn’t practical, consider using artificial petals or colored paper for safety.

Picture Books: Look for storybooks that depict the Onam festival or create a short story with colorful illustrations showing Mahabali’s return and the celebrations.

Mini Sadya: Organize a mini-Onam Sadya (feast) with toddler-friendly versions of traditional dishes. Consider serving simple versions of banana chips, payasam (sweet dessert), or rice with yogurt.

Onam Songs: Play cheerful Onam songs and encourage the children to sing along or dance. Simple movements or hand gestures can make this fun and interactive.

Celebrating Onam was a delightful experience filled with learning, creativity, and fun. By incorporating storytelling, crafts, music, and food, you’ll create a memorable festival experience that nurtures a sense of culture and community in young minds. Let the joy of Onam inspire curiosity and appreciation for traditions, fostering a sense of belonging in the little ones as they celebrate this beautiful festival together!
