Fluffy Ka'ba DIY for your kid

Salam aleikum to you and your child :)

Here is a super cool activity your child will want to do again and again. Hands-on crafts are wonderful moments for discussion and learning with your child. For example, with this one, it’s a great opportunity to talk about Tawaf during the pilgrimage to Mecca, or about the stories of our prophets Muhammad (sws) or Ibrahim (ws).
