(hadith about looking to those less fortunate so we can be grateful)

The Sahaba used to shine every dinar before giving it in hopes that maybe it was that dinar that took them to heaven. (not sure of reference or authenticity)
Things required:
- One 1 ½ liter plastic bottle
- Cutter or knife to cut the bottle (. Please take help from adult)
- 1 A4 colored card sheet.
- Glue
- Stickers /glitter/beads to decorate.
Method:
With the help of an adult cut the bottle so its about 5 to 6 inches tall.
Now turn it over and using the opening of the bottle as a template draw a circle in the card sheet.
Make a slit for the coins and money to go in easily in the center of the circle and cut out.
Stick the circle on top of the bottle opening so it is sealed with the help of the glue.
Decorate
Your Sadaqa box is now ready.
You can ask your parents to help you fill it or put in your extra pocket money, and share with someone in need at the end of the month.
