Every kid is extremely excited about Diwali. They love wearing new clothes and are full of energy. They keep running around the house, and they want to be involved in every part of Diwali customs. They do not want to be left out, and sometimes it is challenging to keep them occupied so that you can do other things. One activity that can keep a kid engaged for some time is card-making. Cards are a form of a personal gift, and children can give a card to everyone, from their teachers to relatives to friends and family members.
