HOLI is the festival of colors. Everyone loves to play Holi because it brings happiness and more masti. I love to play Holi, but when your toddlers or kids want to celebrate this Holi festival with you, Mommy, you need to take a lot of precautions.

  2. Happy Holi, Safe Holi. In our society, balloons aren't allowed. I haven't played Holi in years, but I remember putting coconut oil. And ensuring no child gets their hand on bhang pakoras.

  3. I love Holi, but my son loves it even more! For him, it’s all about colors, playing with water, and endless fun with friends. But this year, since he has an exam on Holi, we’ll be keeping the celebrations minimal. One thing I always ensure is using organic colors and applying coconut oil on his skin and hair beforehand, it makes cleanup so much easier! Wishing everyone a happy and safe Holi!
