Lantern Crafting – Sufi Heritage Inspired Children’s Activity

10 May 2025

15:15 - 16:30

Womenzone Community Centre

Craft your own lantern symbolising light, wisdom, and spiritual reflection.

Come enjoy a creative and educational day with WomenZone’s Playworker Hasina Mahmood for kids aged 6+. Through interactive arts and crafts activities, this exciting class allows kids to learn about the history of Sufi music, integrating education with creative arts.

Children will create their own unique and decorative lanterns inspired by Sufi traditions. Lanterns symbolise inner light, wisdom, and spiritual guidance which are themes at the heart of Sufism. Participants will paint and decorate paper lanterns using designs and colours that reflect values like love, unity, and kindness. The workshop includes all materials and guidance from our facilitators.

This workshop is an opportunity for children to learn about key Sufi values. Through art, they will express emotions, build confidence, and connect with new ideas in a fun and engaging way. A perfect session for kids who love to create, explore, and learn something new!
