Free Diwali Story Drawing Sheet | EYFS Core | BookFlik
Celebrate the festival of light with our engaging and creative English diwali story drawing sheet eyfs core resource. Designed specifically for children aged 3-5, this activity helps pupils connect with the themes of Diwali, such as kindness, community, and the triumph of light over darkness. By drawing scenes from the traditional story of Rama and Sita, children develop their fine motor skills and spatial awareness while reinforcing their understanding of narrative structure.
Our English diwali story drawing sheet eyfs core is perfectly aligned with the UK National Curriculum for the Early Years Foundation Stage, specifically supporting Communication and Language, and Expressive Arts and Design. As children illustrate the story, they are encouraged to talk about what they are drawing, which builds vocabulary and storytelling confidence. Teachers can use this resource during circle time as a prompt for discussion, or as a quiet independent activity during continuous provision.
This resource is differentiated for learners working at the expected standard. It includes a series of guided prompts that encourage children to think about key elements of the festival, such as the glowing diyas and the colourful rangoli patterns. To support your lesson planning, we have included five to seven questions that cover recall and comprehension. For example, you might ask, “Can you draw the bright lights that guide the way home?” or “How do these patterns make you feel?”
Using this English diwali story drawing sheet eyfs core ensures your classroom activities remain inclusive and educational. It provides a wonderful opportunity to discuss cultural celebrations while maintaining a focus on core literacy and artistic development. Simply download, print, and provide your children with crayons or felt-tip pens to bring the magic of the festival to life. This resource is completely free and ready to use in your next EYFS lesson, making it a staple for your autumn term planning.
