Abstract :
This research elaborates on utilization of cartoons as a tool of religious instruction for
children. Cartoons can be used as an instrument for children’s mental development because
a child’s mind is like a plain slate, what you write leaves a long-lasting impact. Cartoons
have become a favorite activity of children and they spend most of their leisure time on
watching cartoons. Children’s interest in cartoons also impacts their mind according to the
content and concept of cartoons. For this aim, cartoons with religious instructions were
shown to children and interview of some children’s parents and teachers were done in
Sheikhupura. The data collected from the observations and interviews done qualitatively for
this research shows that cartoons are a very effective source of religious instruction for
children. Children not only understand these instructions easily but also try to follow them.
