Spring is in the air, and one of the most joyful celebrations is right around the corner: Holi, the Festival of Colors! Observed on March 25 this year, Holi is more than just a colorful party. It’s a celebration of love, unity, renewal, and family traditions.

For parents raising little ones, Holi is also an opportunity to share stories of culture in a way that feels fun, safe, and age-appropriate.

Meet Kamala: Our Indian Cultural Doll

Let’s start with the star of this celebration: Kamala, our Indian Cultural Doll.

  • She’s 18 inches tall, soft and plushy for snuggles.

  • Made with embroidered details (no plastic pieces), which makes her safe for toddlers and babies.

  • Dressed in a traditional outfit that reflects Indian heritage with joy.

  • Comes with a QR code for families to learn more about her story and culture.

This Holi, Kamala is more than just a toy. She’s a way for children to feel connected to Indian culture and for families to open conversations about traditions, diversity, and pride.

What Is Holi All About?

Holi is often called the Festival of Colors, but its meaning goes much deeper.

  • It marks the triumph of good over evil .

  • It celebrates spring’s arrival and the renewal of life.

  • It honors the love between Krishna and Radha , key figures in Hindu stories.

  • And of course, it’s filled with laughter, family, and joy.

The most iconic part? Throwing brightly colored powders and water! Kids love it because it feels like pure play. Parents love it because it breaks down barriers, reminding us that love and joy always win.

Family-Friendly Ways to Celebrate Holi at Home

Not every family has access to large Holi festivals. But you can still create magic right at home!

1. Decorate with Color

Hang bright streamers, flower garlands, or colorful paper crafts. Place Kamala in the center of your decor so she’s part of the celebration.

2. Play With Safe Colors

Have a playful backyard color fight with eco-friendly powders and water balloons. If that feels too messy, try finger painting or chalk art with the kids.

3. Share Stories and Books

Use storytime to talk about the meaning of Holi. Books like Amma, Tell Me About Holi! or Let’s Celebrate Holi! are great for little ones.

4. Rangoli Fun

Make a rangoli design on your porch with colored rice or flower petals. Let your kids place Kamala beside it, dressed in a little scarf or colorful accessory.
