HAPPY HOLI 2025 EVERY ONE ( in advance)
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.
WHY?
Because Holi is a festival of colors where people throw gulal powder on everyone. Mostly they apply color on your face. And if the kids are there, then chances are more kids get infected or hurt. You have to prepare your kids beforehand.

How?
The evening before Holi, there is Holika Dahan. Take your kids to this celebration and educate them about Holi.
Also tell them that in the morning everyone is going to play Holi. They will apply color, and you can use pichakari to throw water and color water on your friends. But if you do not follow rules, then you will get hurt.
So what are the RULES every kid must follow?
RULES:
🌻Close your eyes and mouth whenever any person applies color.
🌻Do not run when someone is trying to throw color on you.
🌻Instead, stand there, close your eyes and mouth, and let them apply color, and then you too apply it to them.
🌻Do not drink water from the pichakari or water tubs or from any other bottle.
🌻Do not eat food that is open and specially made for adults.

DeleteHappy 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.
ReplyDeleteThis is a handy checklist to play a safe Holi, Neeta. I wish everyone takes precautions while playing with colours.

ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteSuch a helpful and thoughtful guide for celebrating Holi safely with kids! I love how you covered everything from protective clothing to hydration and eye care—these are such important yet often overlooked details. The emphasis on natural colors and setting boundaries for play is a great reminder for parents. After all, Holi is all about joy, and these tips ensure a fun and safe experience for little ones.
ReplyDeleteLove this. Holi is all about fun, but these tips are so important, especially with kids around. Never thought about keeping a doctor’s number handy, but it makes so much sense. Also, coconut oil before colors—total lifesaver. Happy holi in advance.

With holi around the corner, these indeed are practical tips, esp for parents with little children. It makes me remember how we played holi many years ago.
ReplyDeleteWe have celebrated very few Holis in India in the last 5-6 years but we have all enjoyed it a lot. Other than oiling our hair and bodies, we haven't really taken any other precautions - but also since kids mostly play within our apartment complex, it is relatively safe.
ReplyDeleteHoli is definitely a festival, fraught with risk, even if the fun factor is amazing. Your safety tips do come in handy for parents. Timely advice, indeed.
ReplyDeleteNeeta I needs tips for 3 year boy. Isko ma kaisa samjhau kaisa khelna na. woh to mast maula ha and so are my neighbourhood kids. But for adults the tips absolutely bang on.
ReplyDeleteMy kids have grown up now and thankfully they can take care of themselves now. Cold, injury and harsh colours can mar the experience and kids must be educated about it beforehand. Good tips.
ReplyDeleteHeat this year is too much. The blazing sun is crazily sapping the hydration. Your point on hydrating is equally important for adults as well. So mommies, keep yourself hydrated too
ReplyDeleteI don't really like Holi especially because I have never celebrated it before, hailing from the south of India. But great tips and it will come in handy!
ReplyDeleteI love how this post emphasizes safety while keeping the fun spirit of Holi alive for kids! The tips are super helpful, especially the natural colors and eye protection advice. Such great precautions for a safe and enjoyable celebration!
ReplyDeleteI am in Rajasthan and dreading the festival. This is the first time I might be caught in it as a tourist!
ReplyDeleteThese are great tips. The stranger part won't apply for my kids because we play in our society premises, and only the members can play. Anyways, glad that you brought this up. I need to talk to them about their conduct with strangers as they won't be in this safety bubble forever.
ReplyDeleteThis was a much needed post that came in at the right time for holi celebrations. Thanks for sharing this
