Colouring PagesDiya (Diwali lamp) colouring page
A diya (Diwali lamp) to print on A4 paper or to colour on the screen. Easy
How to use this page
On paper: tap "Print the blank page". Only the picture is printed, with a line for the child's name. On screen: tap a colour, then tap a part of the picture to fill it. "Undo" takes back the last fill, and white rubs a part out. Nothing is saved; the picture is fresh each time you open it.
Colour ideas
The clay lamp is brown or terracotta red, often painted in bright colours and dots. The flame is yellow outside and orange inside. The sparkles are yellow.
For a card or a wall decoration, bright colours with strong contrast work best: put light colours next to dark ones. A finished page can be cut out and pasted on coloured chart paper to make a greeting card.
