There’s this meme that floats around during this time of the year that talks about how Mother’s Day commercials are about diamonds on sale for $3000 and Father’s Day commercials are about cargo shorts on sale for $11. Yes, it’s funny but it’s also true!

20 Exciting Eid ul Adha Crafts and Activities for Kids

Learn all about Hajj and the Feast of the Sacrifice with these exciting Eid ul Adha Crafts and Activities for Kids! There’s something for every age!

You’ve probably heard that Eid is the most important festival for Muslims around the world, but did you know that there are two Eids? Yes, there are two occasions to feast and celebrate!

The first Eid in the Islamic calendar is the feast at the end of the month of fasting, known as Ramadan. This Eid is also known as Eid ul Fitr. The second Eid is the Feast of the Sacrifice, and is known as Eid ul Adha or Bakrid. There’s quite an interesting story behind it!

Why do we celebrate Eid ul-Adha?

The story behind Eid ul Adha is based on the Prophet Ibrahim (also known as Abraham). He longed for a child, and prayed for one for years. Finally, after years of prayer, God granted him his wish and he was blessed with a son, Ismail. Ibrahim and his wife were overjoyed!

Years later, when Ismail was a teenager, Ibrahim began to get recurrent dreams in which God asked him to sacrifice that which was most dear to him, i.e., his son Ismail. This was, of course, unthinkable to Ibrahim, who tried to ignore these dreams.

But finally, he realized that he could stall God’s order no more, and he talked to Ismail about it. The son agreed that the father should go ahead and prove his faith, even if it meant giving up his life. People who heard about it were shocked, and they thought that Ibrahim was mad.

With tears in his eyes, Ibrahim raised the knife to sacrifice his son, but at that instant, God commanded him to stop and sacrifice an animal instead. He had proved his faith and there was no need for Ismail to die!!

Needless to say, Ibrahim was relieved and this is how the festival of sacrifice came to be. Later, Ibrahim and his son built the Kaaba at Mecca in Saudi Arabia, which is where Muslims across the world go on pilgrimage.

What is the significance of this story?
This story has actually quite a few hidden lessons, which form the essence of this festival. Here are some of them:
If you believe in something, do so utterly and completely, and be ready to sacrifice everything to reach your goal
Often, sacrificing temporary pleasures can reap permanent benefits
If something is keeping you from your goals, like a bad habit or addiction, sacrificing it is better for you, however hard it may seem
But here’s one thing you don’t have to sacrifice this Eid ul Adha – making crafts! We’ve rounded up some of the best Eid ul Adha crafts and activities for kids to try this festive season and celebrate its spirit!

20 Simple and Sweet DIY Christmas Card Ideas for Kids

Spread love this holiday season with a handmade card, chosen from our list of simple and sweet DIY Christmas Card Ideas for Kids.

“A little smile, a word of cheer, A bit of love from someone near”. That seems like the perfect way to describe a Christmas card!! When you want to show your love and appreciation, and you don’t want to go the commercial route, a handmade card is your best option!

The first Christmas Cards were sent in 1843, and they were carefully made one by one, due to which they were expensive and could only be afforded by the rich. However, when they started getting mass-produced, it became so popular that now it’s an integral part of Christmas celebrations!

Of course, these days you can just send an e-card and be done with it, but where’s the fun in that? If you ask me, it feels a bit impersonal too! A digital card simply cannot evoke the same emotions in that quote we mentioned above. For that, nothing can beat a handmade card!

So here are 20 simple and sweet DIY Christmas Card Ideas that kids can make, with a little help from Mom or Dad. Most of these require very basic supplies and just a little time, and we even have some last minute ideas. So now, there’s no excuse not to make a handmade card this Christmas!

Bats have a very distinct shape – have you noticed Batman’s logo? Well, you can make crafts that are as simple as a bat shape paper craft or something more complex like paper quilling bats. And if you wan’t to give someone the heebie jeebies this season, we can’t think of anything better than this DIY Bat Pop Up Halloween Card!
