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.

Easy Pen and Paper Games for Road Trips and Beyond

When my daughter was younger I would spend a lot of time trying to come up with activities she could do in the car on long road trips and things to entertain her when we were waiting at restaurants and things that didn’t involve screens.

But it turns out there are a lot of great activities you can do with just a piece of paper and a pen.

What Do We Do All Day has a great collection of pen and paper games, including some that can be done with just one person, though they’re all more fun if you have at least two.

There are some classics on here like hangman and dots and boxes, but there are also quite a few I hadn’t heard of before.

I don’t want to spoil the whole list for you because you should definitely click over there and look around, but I will share about the one that you see pictured above.

This game is called Bridges, and you start by making the big random shape and the dividing it into a bunch of sections (the post says 30-50 sections is ideal but I think this one is smaller than that).

Each player gets their own color marker and you take turns drawing bridges from one space to another, crossing a third. Once there’s a bridge, no other bridges can start, end or cross in those spaces. Keep going until no more bridges can be built, and the person who makes the last bridge wins.

Check out the post over at What We Do All Day for more great ideas for no or almost-no prep games you can play with your kids or that kids can play together. I’d love to know if you have a favorite paper and pen game, whether it’s on this list or a different one.
