Ramadan Crafts for Kids

February 13, 2025 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

Making crafts for Ramadan is a lot of fun for kids, because it gives them something to focus on and a way to think about the observance at a time when they might not actually be participating in the fast. Also having some special decor around just makes the season more festive.

Use a printable template to make pretty Ramadan lanterns. This one is from Belaraby Apps, and you just need cardstock and tissue paper to make it. There are links to other crafts there as well if you like this one.

Another stained glass style decoration can be found in this video from dsypspt on Instagram. It involves cutting shapes out of cardboard and using tape or contact paper to attach colorful pieces of paper.

The crescent moon is an important symbol of the Muslim faith throughout the year, but it has a special significance during Ramadan, which begins and ends with the new moon. This crescent moon and stars mobile from NurtureStore is easy to make a decorate with any art supplies you have on hand. The version shown is done with scrape painting.

In the Playroom has a lot of great Ramadan crafts, but while we’re talking about crescent moons, check out their moon craft made with paper plates. I also love their pop up mosque card, which would be fun as a decoration as well as a greeting card. Check out more of their Ramadan activities for kids here.

There are lots of printables you can use to make easy Ramadan crafts that you can find on Etsy, including these banners from Eid Collective that kids can color in and hang around the house. Peony Prints dot com has a cute little paper lantern for kids to color, and Paperism Shop has printable 3d mosque designs you can use to decorate for Ramadan or any other time of year.

Check out more about celebrating Ramadan with kids.

Have you read?

Book Review: The Festival of Lights

As if Diwali weren’t colorful and fun enough, The Festival of Lights: A Lift-the-flap Diwali Celebration by Namita Moolani Mehra, illustrated by Darshika Varm, makes it even more fun to read about with flaps and things to lift and pull to see more information or details in the illustrations. 

The book is a story about a family getting ready for Diwali and what happens on the different days of the five-day celebration. There’s cleaning, shopping, crafting, food preparation and getting the home altar ready for the big day. 

It covers decorating the outside of the house with rangoli, diyas and lanterns, buying sweets to share with family and friends, the sights and scents of the mandir (home temple), getting dressed up in new fancy clothes, the story of Diwali and celebrations with relatives.  

Flaps (there are more than 140 in all) give you vocabulary words for different foods and definitions, as well as fun things like what’s inside the shopping basket or where the cat is hanging out. They also help illuminate the story of Diwali, which is the triumph of good over evil as Lord Ram defeated the demon Ravana to save his wife, Sita. 

This pretty and colorful book helps kids understand what Diwali is and how it is celebrated, regardless of whether they practice it at home. This would be a nice book to keep in a classroom (it’s rated for kids ages 3-7) or to have at home to teach kids about Diwali even if it’s not something you celebrate. Where I live there are a lot of people from India so we are probably exposed to Diwali more than some other regions of America, but it’s a nice holiday to know about wherever you live. 

Combine with the book Diwali and check out some fun lantern crafts and printables for kids to round out your experience. 

About the book: 24 pages, hardcover, published 2025 by Wide Eyed Editions. Suggested retail prices $22.99.
