Ramadan For the Littlest Muslims

Assalamu alaikum,

Insha'Allah, Ramadan is 1 month and 5 days away (based on the sighting of the moon insha'Allah)! We'd like to start getting prepared for this blessed month by posting arts/crafts, activities, recipes & baking that the little ones can participate in insha'Allah, and other resources that may help us make Ramadan truly special for the littlest Muslims insha'Allah.


With so many non-Muslim holidays surrounding our children, some parents find it challenging to help their kids see how Ramadan is far superior to the holidays that, because of the marketing and advertising supporting and bolstering them, compete for their attention and loyalty. We seek Allah's Help in this and all matters.

So, here is our plan insha'Allah: Starting at the end of this month insha'Allah, we will begin posting ideas, crafts, etc. to make the month of Ramadan special for our Muslim children insha'Allah. I've already began compiling craft ideas and I'm keeping an eye out for Ramadan recipes over at Saha wa Afia. I've started writing Ramadan poems for this age group that can either be read to them or be used in various craft projects insha'Allah.
And we'll have a special section just for Ramadan so that way, when you need an idea you don't have to search through the age categories insha'Allah. Quick, easy and insha'Allah simple. So check back because we're getting ramped up for the Blessed month of Ramadan insha'Allah! Ah, I can't wait!

You know what? Why wait until the end of the month?! Let's start now insha'Allah. Here's the first Ramadan Actvitiy pack insha'Allah. I found this at Freewebs.salafisisters.com. It's got lots of great ideas for children 3-4 years old insha'Allah. So enjoy and insha'Allah there's more to come!

Oh! If you've got ideas that you use with your little ones, please do share insha'Allah! Our goal is to benefit as many Muslim families as we can insha'Allah.

      Jazakillaahu khayr dear sis Bintnajeeb. This link is from an outside website and, therefore, there is nothing that can be done, from my side. I have tried to see if the sisters who own this site have another site, but I was unable to find any information on Google about them, unfortunately. I will, however, check to see if I happened to download this pack when I first saw it. If so, I will post it in this post in shaa' Allaah. Jazakillaahu khayr once again!
