You could have fun with Holi colors. While it isn’t the right time of year, you should be able to find some online. We just finished this study and will be having an Indian food feast soon.
Do you have any ideas for me? We (my DS6 and I) just finished reading the Bhagavad-Gita for kids, as well as the Ramayana for kids. I’d like to do some sort of celebration at the end of all of this. The cookie idea is good, but we didn’t study geography at all. We were mainly learning about the Hindu religion. What do you think?
