Celebrate the magic of global traditions with our engaging RE festivals drawing sheet EYFS core resource. This beautifully illustrated activity is designed to help children aged 3 to 5 explore the diverse ways people celebrate across the UK and the wider world.

Aligned with the Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, this resource provides a structured yet creative way for children to document their knowledge.

It is an excellent way to assess recall and spark classroom discussion about what makes a festival special.

This specific RE festivals drawing sheet EYFS core pack is differentiated to support learners working at the expected standard. It includes a series of open-ended prompts that encourage children to draw their favourite festival symbols while developing their fine motor skills and descriptive language.

To check understanding, try these five questions with your class:

1. Which festival did you choose to draw today?

2. What special colours or patterns do people use during this festival?

3. Can you name one special food that is eaten during this celebration?

4. How do the people in the pictures show they are happy?

5. Why do you think it is important for families to celebrate together?
