While it is important to teach children about all Indian festivals, it is equally important to show them environmentally &amp; socially sustainable ways to celebrate them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 6 ideas from Team Zooboo to celebrate Holi without any wastage of water, toxic colours or smoke &amp; fume of the Holi pyre. Try them out with your kids and help them get into the spirit of Holi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>After all, don\u2019t you agree it\u2019s time we change the mantra to \u2018Burana na KARO, Holi Hai\u2019 instead!? \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#1 Water Play with toys!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water is one of the key part of Holi-Dhuleti celebrations. But we can try to involve kids in different water activities that allow them to have fun with water (splash, splash) and yet involve minimum water wastage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try setting up a toy-washing day for your kids and their friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just fill a few big tubs with water &amp; kid-friendly soap. Bring out their plastic toys, throw in a few brushes and watch them enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" src=\"https:\/\/zooboostory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/busytoddler.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zooboostory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/busytoddler.jpg 600w, https:\/\/zooboostory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/busytoddler-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zooboostory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/busytoddler-91x60.jpg 91w, https:\/\/zooboostory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/busytoddler-520x345.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>@busytoddler.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>P.S: You got yourself sparkling clean toys as well \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#2 Create your own colours!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid toxic Holi colours as they leave irreparable damage on children\u2019s sensitive skin.

Try painting with a twist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Provide kids with paints but make the brushes out of natural elements like twigs, leaves, flowers. Try to incorporate different types of leaves for different brush strokes.
