Imam Husayn – Lantern of Guidance 3D Craft

This lantern craft helps children explore the idea of Imam Husayn (a) as a light and guide, through hands-on creativity.

How to use this activity:

Colour in the lantern pieces.

Cut along the solid lines and gently fold along the dotted lines.

Fold the panels backwards to create the 3D lantern shape.

Roll and attach the strips at the top to make a handle.

Once complete, the lantern can be hung up or displayed as a reminder of guidance and light.

✨ Tip:

You can place a battery tea light inside (optional) or keep it as a symbolic lantern for reflection during Muharram, Shabaan, or everyday learning.

A simple craft, a meaningful message 💛
