Colours you need

Steps

1. Draw the peacock’s body and small round head with chalk, with a small crest on top.
2. Draw nine big feathers in a fan behind it, each with a round eye.
3. Trace every line with white rangoli powder.
4. Fill the body royal blue and the feathers green.
5. Fill each feather eye with blue, turquoise and yellow, then add orange and yellow petals under the peacock.

With little ones: an adult draws the outline, children fill the big shapes with their fingers. Light the diyas only at the end and keep them out of reach.
