Diwali Inspired Footprints

It was Diwali this week and I wanted to do something age-approrpriate for the 1 and 2 year olds I was looking after. The story of Rama and Sita went over the heads (not surprisingly!) but in my research I found that some homes put out footprints to guide the Goddess Lakshmi along with the lamps. So we decided to make some footprints of our own:

My 2 year old particularly enjoyed this and we decided to add a bit of glitter - more inspired by Holi the festival of colours than Diwali I admit!
