Using the Shortcuts app to close all open windows tabs in Safari (for my grandmother)?

Hello. Could this "Shortcuts app" for Ios help my senior mother to be able to Close all the open Safari tabs on her Ipad Pro in one go? How to do that please? I would like it to become an icon in her dock to "close all safari tabs now"...
