Colours you need

Steps

1. Draw one square, then a second square turned halfway round on top of it to make an eight-point star.
2. Draw a circle in the middle with a small flower inside, and a small flower in each corner.
3. Trace every line with white rangoli powder.
4. Fill the star points red and yellow, one after the other.
5. Fill the corners blue with white flowers, and the centre flower green with a purple dot.

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.
