Eid-ul-Adha is the biggest of the two Eids and also the last day of Hajj (the major pilgrimage in the Muslim faith). It’s one of the five pillars of Islam and it marks a special five to six days of rites, bringing in Muslims from across the world.

This tutorial is the perfect activity to enjoy with the kids as it's fun and educational! Learn how to make a Kaaba, Mount Arafat, a well of Zamzam water, and more.

Create each part day by day or make the whole set and follow the footsteps of the pilgrims as they make their way through each day.
