Diwali diva lamp focus plan

Explore Diwali traditions through sensory, creative play with our Diwali diva lamp focus plan. This Early Years activity supports pupils in making their own clay diva lamps while learning about Diwali as the Festival of Lights, encouraging discussion, fine motor development and cultural awareness.

The plan includes a quick setup guide, step-by-step instructions and prompts for talk and reflection. Pupils use air-dry clay to roll, pinch and shape their lamps before decorating with paint, glitter or sequins and adding a tealight candle. Links to key EYFS areas make this a perfect continuous provision or focus activity for the autumn term.
