Stuff to keep in mind:

• Not your favourite shoes

• You can run the Colour Run route as many times as you like

• Full eye cover safety glasses are ideal but some cheap sunnies will do as well ($4 safety glasses from Bunnings)

• Some people like to wear a bandanna (to keep stuff out of their nose/mouth while they’re laughing and screaming)

• A towel or two (to dry off but also to line your car seat if you’re driving)

• Baby wipes are handy to clean up

• Spare set of clothes if you need to look presentable to the world later

• Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated from all the running around!

• The Holi Powder Paint is non-toxic, bio-degradable and washes out (Cornstarch and Food Colour)
