99 Creative Arab World Projects {Resource}

There is so much misinformation about the Arab World in the press and A Crafty Arab blog hopes to combat that with positive, educational posts for children.

Over the years, my daughters and I have originated over 500 craft tutorials, eraser marked printables, read through book lists, argued over resources and made yummy food to learn about the 22 countries in the Middle East and North Africa that share a linguistic, geographic & lineage connection.

I thought I’d compile them all here in one post to make it easier for parents, educators and caregivers to find. Some post might contain affiliate links for supplies or books but all of them are free.
