About
Join Ved and his friends for a creative and meaningful craft activity just in time for Dussehra, the festival that marks the lead-up to Diwali! In this special DIY session, kids will learn how to make their very own Ravan puppet, a symbol of good triumphing over evil. This hands-on activity is not only fun, but it also carries a deeper message—on the day of Dussehra, families traditionally light the effigy of Ravan as they burn away their bad habits, setting intentions to become better versions of themselves.
This DIY craft is perfect for kids who celebrate Diwali, offering them a creative way to engage with the holiday’s values while making a fun and festive puppet to take home. Celebrate Dussehra with creativity, reflection, and a little fire of transformation!
