Diwali Headbands Color by Code Add and Subtract to 10

Description

Your students will love celebrating Diwali with these festive color by code headbands! This set of Diwali color by code headbands covers addition and subtraction to 10, making math practice feel like a party. Each student colors their headband using a color key, then cuts it out and attaches it to a sentence strip to wear. It’s hands-on, fun, and perfect for the whole class.

This resource includes five unique headband designs featuring iconic Diwali images. Students will see a diya lamp, an elephant, a firework, a lantern, and a mandala flower — all packed with math problems. Each design uses a different color key, so every headband looks one of a kind. Teachers love that the activity is easy to manage while students stay totally engaged.

The math covers addition and subtraction facts to 10. Some designs also include equations that equal zero, making this a great review tool for the full range of K-1 math fact fluency. Because each equation maps to a specific color, students must solve the problem correctly to color the picture right. That built-in self-check keeps practice honest.

Also included are two pages of Diwali-themed holiday stamps. Students can color and cut out the stamps to decorate their sentence strip with extra Diwali flair. The stamps feature diyas, elephants, elephants, kites, kids in traditional dress, fireworks, sweets, and more. Answer keys are included for all five headband designs.

Best of all, this is a true print-and-go activity. Copy on cardstock for best results, grab sentence strips, and you’re ready. These Diwali color by code headbands make a beautiful display and a memorable holiday craft all in one.
