Ramadan Crafts Contest Winner {Resource}

June 2, 2020June 15, 2020 | acraftyarab

To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of #CraftyRamadan, a Ramadan crafts 30 day challenge, A Crafty Arab held a contest and today we picked a winner.

This annual challenge was to create a project a day for the Islamic holy month, Ramadan, when Muslims around the world fast, with 30 days of activities for parents and caregivers to do with children.

My daughters and I were excited to see all the crafts that we had been tagged in.

Ultimately we picked Daisy, who used our Nazar felt tutorial to create her own hair clip for her daughter.

We have to say, it was an incredibly hard decision as there were so many great choices. We will be contacting them to offer other prizes since we were so touched that our tutorials were used.

Due to the pandemic, Plaid Crafts is a little backed up in the warehouse and will have to substitute a few items from those that I listed on the original contest rules.

To make up for it, they will increase the prize package from $50 to $100. What a generous offer! Be sure to check out all the ways we have fun with my role as Plaid Ambassador.

Shukran (Arabic for thank you and written like this: شكرا) for following our 2020 Ramadan crafts daily challenge.

We have enjoyed creating an activity a day during the holy month, that teaches about Arab culture and the Muslim world for you.

My family would like to wish our supportive community an Eid Mubarak.

Eid AlFitar is today, the holiday that comes at the end of Ramadan and Eid Mubarak is a greeting that means Blessed Eid.

We started our 30 day Ramadan crafts challenge back in July 2011. Our tradition has continued annually through 2012, 2013, 2014. 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

30 Ramadan Quarantine Activity Ideas {Resource}

April 26, 2020May 1, 2020 | acraftyarab

After making the Ramadan calendar for my daughters to countdown the days of this holy month, I went to find deeds or activities to add inside.

While there were so many great ideas, including one we used in the past, most of the cards had activities that we are not able to do due to COVID19 quarantine. As much as we would like to “visit the mosque” or “take iftar to a new convert” being in isolation has made those ideas impossible at this time.

I took a little time this afternoon and created a list for them of things to do while we are in lock down. They include religious activities, as well as things to do that help pass a full or partial day of fasting for kids.
