At Eid, Muslims go to mosque to pray. They also decorate their homes for the parties and family meals afterwards.

Follow the insrtuctions to make this simple decoration based around a mosque and hang it in your house at Eid.

Print the template opposite.

You will need:
*Thick card (cardboard box card is perfect)
*Crayons or felt tips
*Glue
*Coloured string or cotton

Stick the templates onto the card and carefully cut around them with the scissors. The mobile will be double sided so if you want to print 2 templates and stick them to either side you can.

Don't forget to ask a grown up for help when using scissors.

Using a pencil or pen, make holes where the black dots are. This can be tricky so ask a grown up for help.

Colour the pieces and decorate them. If you have some silver foil, you can use it to decorate the stars.

Sequins also make good decorations for the stars and the moon.

String the peices together through the holes you made earlier.

Tie the strings in a knot to secure the peices. If you want to make your mobile symetrical, make sure your stars hang to the same length on both sides.

Your finished mobile should look like this. Thread strings through the top holes and tie them together in the middle.

Hang your mobile with a push pin or some sticky tack.
