How to make your colourful Ramadan Cards with Kids

As we are getting closer and closer to the month of Ramadan, we have already started preparing for it. And like every year, this time as well we have made lots of personalised Ramadan Mubarak cards for our family and friends.

We have used empty paper shopping bags, recycled hand painted sheets, stars cutouts, some handmade stencils, scissors, detail knife, glue, glitter, black and white markers. For hand painted sheets, I let my kids do some free hand painting all over our previous art sheets and let it dry.

Ramadan Card 1 – paper strips

Cut them into strips.

For making one card, I cut out 2 same size square pieces of shopping bag.

On the upper sheet, I used a moon stencil to draw a crescent moon and cut the edges with a detailed knife.

On the bottom one, kids pasted the colourful strips with the glue.

Then, they placed the upper sheet on top of the bottom sheet and glued the edges.

Decorated with some glitter and white stars.

Ramadan Mosaic Card 2

fine motor skills

We also tore these same strips into pieces and made a few more cards by pasting those pieces together.

Ramadan Cards two ways

Aren’t these cards lovely? I adore the finishing touychs of adding a simple black outline as well a some glittery cards. They really bring this Ramadan activity together and make for a beautiful project! I could also see this technique working really well with contact paper and tissue paper scraps to turn this colourful activity into a Ramadan Suncatcher!
