Ramadan is a very special month of the year to Muslims. It is the 9th month of the Islamic Lunar Calendar. For everyday of this month, the Muslims spends the entire daylight hours in fasting (meaning they abstain from food and drink to purify the soul).
There are quite a few Ramadan crafts for children to make during this month. They can make a good deeds calendar for random act of kindness. They can make a Masjid Puzzle or a special Ramadan lantern (Fanoos) from construction paper. More crafts are listed below.
Dates
From Tree to Table : - For
Islamic people, the fruit of the date palm tree takes on a greater
significance during the month of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, the
festival that follows the end of Ramadan fasting.
Good
Deeds Calendar : - Flip
up a flap of this calendar to reveal a random act of kindness. Lend a
hand to your family, friends, and neighbors.
Islamic
Prophets Mobile : - This
is a simple mobile featuring the 4 prophets names written in
calligraphy (Abraham, Jesus, Moses and Muhammad) plus a central
"Peace be upon them" square. The
Qur'an prohibits using images of people or animals as they may be
mistaken as idols. In Islam, geometric designs, floral motifs
and calligraphy are often used. These templates reflect this.
Make
a Ramadan Collage : - Let
imaginations have free reign! You can either cut out the shapes using
tracing papers on the images you've already collected. Or you can go
for full fledged collage by tearing paper into small pieces. And,
then assemble them into the shape of familiar Ramadan signs. For
instance, cut out the shape of the crescent moon from the white
construction paper. Make stencils of mosques and minarets with the
help of translucent tracing papers. And cut out shapes from the black
construction paper using the stencil.
Masjid
Puzzle 16 pcs - A
home made puzzle.
Mosque
Craft Mobile : - Make
an easy beautiful Mosque mobile using a printable template.
Pillars
of Islam : - Construct
a graphic reminder of the Five Pillars of Islam.

toddlers.

fast with dates.
Ramadan

date chain for the kids for Ramadan. A little piece is placed at the
top that said something about the blessing of feeding a fasting

away).

the children will be making Ramadan post cards to address and "mail"
to family and friends and second, they will be sorting the postcards
according to colour/shape or whatever idea you choose.
