Krishna Janmashtami is a festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna. This annual Hindu festival is also popularly known as Gokulashtami and Krishnashtami.
It is one of the most celebrated annual Hindu festivals. Devotees of Lord Krishna across the world observe fast and offer delicacies on his birthday. The celebrations go on for two days as Lord Krishna is believed to have taken birth on the eighth day of the dark fortnight of Bhadrapada, an auspicious month that falls between August and September.
On the very first day of Janmashtami, devotees keep a fast and start their preparations for Krishna Jayanti celebrations. This is a perfect day for parents to involve their children in Janmashtami preparations. It helps in instilling faith and devotion towards Lord Krishna in kids from a very young age.
Take a look at our 6 creative activity suggestions for your kids to enjoy and celebrate Lord Krishna’s birthday this year:

Decorating an Aarti ki Thali
