Eid ul Adha 2024 crafts: Creative projects for kids and adults

Eid ul Adha 2024: Here's how children can harness their creative energies by making their own prayer mats, paper mosques and Eid-themed wall hangings.

Eid ul Adha 2024: Eid ul Adha is around the corner and we have started our preparations for the celebrations already. Eid ul Adha, also referred to as the Feast of the Sacrifice, is one of the most auspicious days celebrated by the Muslim community all over the world. In India, Eid ul Adha is also known as Bakrid. This year, Eid ul Adha will be celebrated in India on June 17, a day after Saudi Arabia celebrates the festival. This day is observed with morning prayers, Eid-special dishes and by giving food to the poor and the needy.

Creative projects are a great way of teaching the value of community service and the significance of Eid ul Adha to the kids of the family. Here is a list of creative ideas for kids as well as adults to celebrate Eid ul Adha with DIY decor.

Wall hanging of moon and stars:

The moon and the stars hold a lot of significance for the Eid festivities. For an Eid-themed party at home, we can get children to make a decorative wall hanging of moon and stars that we can place at the front door to welcome the guests.

Colouring activity for children:

Hand painting is a fun way of including the children in creative projects. We can make them have the hand imprint and then draw a mosque around it.

Paper mosque:

What is a better way of imbibing spirituality and the significance of Eid into our children than helping them make their own mosque? Gather art papers and tissue rolls, and help the children embrace their creative side and make a mosque for themselves.
