Ramadan Storytime and Crafts by Sakeena Ahmed

Alhamdulillah, we completed a successful and fun, second year of Ramadan Story and Craft times for our children. Children under 10 and their mothers met every Thursday in Ramadan for Dhuhr at the Hoover Crescent Islamic Center, before listening to stories and participating in a craft.  Each week had a theme related to a different aspect of Ramadan.
  • Week 1 - Introduction to Ramadan themed books with "shrinky dink" handprint magnets
  • Week 2 - Moon stories with fun thaumatropes with moon and star shapes
  • Week 3 - Drum theme with toy drums. The kids loved making this craft the most and some said they would be using it to wake their parents up for sahour each morning.
  • Week 4 - Eid theme with Eid treats of dipping pretzels in chocolate and decorating them with sprinkles.
There was a regular crowd of over 30 children each week, as we made new friends and shared our love of Ramadan with each other. Insha'Allah, we plan to resume our monthly story time for children. Stay tuned for details in the coming weeks!
