Everybody takes this opportunity to dress up their kids as Krishna and Radha, no matter how old the kids are. From tiny tots to older kids, everyone enjoys this dressing up theme on this day.

While, you have collected all the stuffs to dress up your little one as Kanha and made all the preparations, here are few points to think about which will allow your child to enjoy with this new get up.

Kids tend to get irritated with something new put on them, specially the jewelleries, the crown, the armlets, and many more things. Your photography skills are also put to test. Your patience level reaches its heights. All these are expected when you have been trying to impose few things on your kids in the name of dressing up on Krishna Ashthami.These hacks will make sure that your child will wear all the additional accessories and the new Krishna attire for an extra hour and value your efforts of several days.

Introducing the accessories a couple of days earlier

Hand over the new accessories to your child a couple of days earlier and in your presence allow to self-wear the same. This way, it is no longer something new for experimenting.

Keep everything simple

In the excitement of trying something special, dont go overboard. In reality, you do not know how well kids co-operate and lets not waste our extra effort and energy on something that we are still not sure about how things will turn up on the festive day.

Decorate your kids with natural ingredients

Some decorative patterns on the forehead, chin, chest, wrists and several other body parts are a part of Krishna dressing-up.

Instead of color loaded makeup items, why not use something natural – kajal, sandalwood paste or chandan paste.

Strictly no to heavy jewelleries that has all pointy/prickly edges

Kids have no patience to carry heavy designer jewelleries. The metal finish in the jewelries can cause irritation and test their patience.

So, the best thing you can do is, opt for simple pearl jewelleries or natural handmade floral jewelries.

Don’t make your Krishna look blue

Vedas say that Lord Krishna was dark-skin colored. So, as a part of Krishna dress-up for this festival, don’t paint your child all blue or anything that will make the skin look dark.

Let your child be in his/her natural skin color. Allow them to breathe freely.

Distract them with something unique and special

Distracting is a best solution for all the tantrums little kids through while dressing up.

Peacock feather is something special and they don’t get to play with the beautiful colours every day.

Take some time out to spend with the cows and calves

Spending time with animals is something most kids don’t experience in this modern age lifestyle. Take them to the place where interacting with cows is a joy.

Cuddling the calves, catching their tail, feeding them with the grass, watching the men milk the cows, these are very unusual from their usual routine. It brings more curiosity and excitement into this festival.

Narrate stories of Krishna and his childhood while you are dressing your kids

Childhood stories of Krishna are many which explain that it is always the good that wins over the evil. Believe in Supreme Lord. Sri Krishna is always there to protect little children and all things little in this vast world.

Let the photography be with all natural poses

Capturing a perfect posing and smiling Krishna is as same as capture wild animals in their natural habitat. During this day’s venture, you will know how difficult it is for a wild-life photographer.
