🪔 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

When introducing world religions to young children, focus on beauty, celebration, and shared human values rather than doctrine. Explain Diwali as "the festival of lights when families celebrate goodness winning over darkness"—a concept all children understand. Share that different families honor different gods during this celebration, just like children's own families might have different traditions. Keep it simple: "Lakshmi brings good fortune. Ganesha removes obstacles. Durga is strong and brave." Pair these cards with Diwali lantern crafts, rangoli designs, or picture books for a complete multicultural unit.
