Ramadan Activities – awesome links to save you time!

I have been scouring the net on your behalf, to find amazing resources for activities suitable for my 3 year old.

To save you time, here are some brilliant ideas I found with really useful and with beautiful content:

1. Talking to Allah with Thank You, Sorry, Please: Parenthood Muslim Style

2. Crafts and Printables from Happiness is Homemade

3. The Greeting of Peace -ebook from Muslim Central

4. Playfully app – great games to play with your baby up to toddler. Love it, practical and evidence based.

Welcoming Ramadan with delightful decor!

This is my first year doing real Ramadan decorations with my kids, as Ilhaam is finally old enough (aged 3) to participate and appreciate, so I’m super excited! My intention is to create a positive and loving environment at home to celebrate this special month as a family, and to teach Ilhaam the important practices we do as Muslims we are fasting in this period – such as showing extra kindness, sharing, prayers…

I decided to keep it simple, and age appropriate using mostly what I already have at home. So if you’re looking for beautiful and quick ideas that don’t break the bank,  here’s what I have being doing this year.

✨Elements:
1. Ramadan Corner – notice board with Good Deed Tree & 30 day gratitude challenge (see below), printed Ramadan book, and Iftaar display items.

2. Ramadan sign in living room (will share pic when I put it up closer to the time so kids know Ramadan is near).

3. Ramadan art & crafts – paper plate moon & sun, colouring pages.

✨Links:
Everything I used were free printables from amazing sites- I just had to click “Print”.  And since I did all the research already, here are the quick links:

  • If you like browsing, and checking out many sites for resources Ayeina has the Ultimate Ramadan list.
  • If you just want ONE place for everything: try Qamar Designs.They have banners, duas, colouring, ramadan book. The Good Deed Tree idea is from here. Just brilliant stuff. 
  • Ramadan 30 day gratitude challenge. I plan for us every day to talk through this as a family while the kids have dinner. 

It’s easy to get caught up in the Instagram rush of fancy Ramadan decorations, but let’s stay focused on our intention – and use our time and energy productively Insha Allah.

Please share your home decor and we’ll love to feature it in our Productive Muslim Mom Instagram stories!

Welcoming Ramadan soon, one activity at a time!
