My Heart Is in Karbala – Movable Wings Craft
❤️ My Heart Is in Karbala – Movable Wings Craft
Our hearts always long for Imam Husayn (a.s.) and the blessed land of Karbala. This simple interactive craft is a beautiful reminder that even if we cannot physically attend the Arbaeen walk, our love and our hearts can still be with Imam Husayn (a.s.).
Children will enjoy opening and closing the wings while reflecting on the message:
"My Heart Is in Karbala."
For an extra special touch, encourage children to write the words in their own handwriting. It makes the craft more personal and meaningful.

Truly, their hearts are there.
