Diwali 2026 with Storytime Scarves
Diwali, or the Festival of lights as it's known, falls on 8th November this year and is a beautiful celebration of the spiritual victory of light over darkness or good over evil.
Hindus commemorate the return of Prince Rama, his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile.
Sikhs celebrate the release of Guru Hargobind from imprisonment by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir.
You can see people celebrating the five days of Diwali by first spring cleaning their homes, then decorating their homes with clay oil lamps, called diyas, and colourful rangoli decorations.
I remember a neighbour of mine creating beautiful rangoli patterns on her front door step with colourful powdered paints and jewels, then surrounding them with candles .
Bring Diwali into your home or classroom with this illustrated Festival of Lights scarf from Storytime Scarves. Made from 100% cotton here in the UK, with a colourful and vibrant design focusing on the decorative lights of Diwali.

Why I choose wood over plastic
Wooden toys offer a level of safety superior to plastic alternatives. They're free from harmful chemicals making them ideal for children who explore the world through touch and taste.
Wood is naturally durable and won't break into small, choking hazards, giving you peace of mind during playtime.
I also love the tactile experience of wooden toys. It creates a calming effect that plastic simply cannot match. The smooth, warm texture in a child's hands encourages mindful, focused play rather than overstimulation.
Combined with their exceptional durability—wooden toys withstand years of use and I hope, can be passed down through siblings—they represent a thoughtful investment in both your child's wellbeing and the environment.
