Holi - the Hindu festival of colours

Today we learnt about Holi which is a Hindu festival of colours. It celebrates the legend of Holika and Prahlad. What happened in this story? 
Hindus celebrate Holi by having bonfires to burn last year's rubbish so they can make new beginnings.
They also have processions and dancing.
In many parts of the world people throw coloured water or paint over each other to celebrate. 

We used poster paint in bottles to make our Holi pictures on paper.
Can you find out anything else about Holi?
