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.
High-Ceiling
Mosaic : - Islamic
architecture is striking and beautiful. Explore the use of geometric
shapes in mosques.
Iftar
Activity : - Ramadan
Iftar Activity for the younger group, use plain foam plates, color
them up with oil pastels and stuck it to the plates (you could
alternatively, use images cut out from magazines, and supermarket
pamphlets – for an easier version). Then added the dua to be
said after opening the fast.
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

home made puzzle.
Moon Project : Ramadan Crafts for Muslim Kids - As we know Ramadan begins and ends with the birth of the new moon. This project will be a good one for preschoolers.

ramadan
Banner : - Cut
two pieces of construction paper into four rectangles (you

holes at the top of each rectangle. Thread party string or yarn
through holes and use to hang on the wall.
Ramadan
Calendar Chain : - Make
your own handmade Ramadan calendar from colorful construction paper.
ramadan

your favorite clipart along with Ramadan Mubarak on mailing labels,

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
person (since there is a date for each child and one for them to give
away).

Mailbox Sorting Activity : - First,
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.
Simple Night sky and moon Project - Use black or blue construction paper for a night sky background. Use a stencil or trace for them the shape of the crescent moon. They can color it with white, yellow, gold, or silver crayons, pencils, or markers. If they can draw stars by themselves, let them add stars, or let them stick on stars (the self-sticking kind).
Sunset View of the sky and Horizon - A two day project. Before the project, ask them to look and observe the colors of the sunset and an outline of buildings/houses in their neighborhood.
