Hand Print Ramadan Calendar Craft for Kids
Inside: Ramadan craft idea to create a Ramadan advent calendar or a Countdown to Eid Calendar. In this post, I’d like to share with you a craft idea that you can do with multiple aged children.
Ramadan is just a month away now… have you told the kids about it yet? We have been thinking about making a fun and memorable Ramadan calendar for kids this year. Here is what we made today!
Please note his post is from 2015 when I had a baby, toddler and a 7 year old at home. I look back now after almost 10 years and remember the joy it was to craft with my kids then. I hope you enjoy the idea and the memories!

Ramadan Calendar Craft for Kids
Are your kids excited about Ramadan? I have toddlers at home and although they are too young to understand Ramadan, my 7 yr old is really excited and looking forward to the holy month. When I asked him what he is looking forward to, I found that he is more interested in knowing if I would let him keep his first fast this year.
‘Well, let’s think about that in Ramadan,’ I told him. He asked me how many days we had till Ramadan and it occurred to me that we would need a calendar to count down to it and to keep track of the dates too.
I wanted something that was reusable and that we could use in Ramadan as well as right now. Here is what we made.
My kids have just the perfect sizes hands right now. Big hands, toddler hands and baby hands.
We colored their hands and one after the other, made hand prints to make thirty fingers for thirty days. Under the prints we wrote the words “Ramadan” with a marker. The idea is that each finger marks each day of the month.
We made a small ring with paper and punched flowers using a die cut tool and we put that ring on a finger. Everyday we moved the ring to mark the day.
Isn’t that adorable?! And inshaAllah memorable…?! I am so excited that we have a craft that my different aged children made together! The kids are really proud of their crafty calendar and really excited for Ramadan.
Do you have different aged kids ? Are you wondering how to have some fun at home with them? Try this!
It doesn’t matter if you have one or two or five children, because this is a calendar craft that you can adapt with any number of hands.

We use this Salah Chart for our family. Every time I pray Salah, I make Dua for myself and my children. My husband does the same. The difference has been eye opening!
