Saturdays, Feb. 21, Feb. 28, & March 7 | 12:30 p.m. (After Dhur) to 2:30 p.m. | Ages 4 to 12 | MCC Lobby (outside the Prayer Hall) | $35 per session or $100 for all three activities + a bonus activity | Register at mcceastbay.org/ramadan-kids
You can register for three in-person individual weeks & 1 take-home activity or sign up for the full program! Check out the exciting lineup below:
Week 1: Flower Pounding Ramadan Canvas Bags
Using the flower hammering technique, we will gently transfer the natural colors and shapes of flowers and leaves mentioned in the Qur’an onto our canvas bags. Each plant reminds us of Allah’s signs in creation. Afterward, you will personalize your bag with painted stencils to add a Ramadan message or name. Making something beautiful, meaningful, and uniquely yours to carry throughout this blessed month.
Week 2: Wooden Masjid Puzzle
Wooden Masjid Puzzle Art is a hands-on activity where participants decorate individual wooden puzzle pieces that come together to make a unique masjid. The pieces can be mixed and interchanged to create unique and beautiful designs, reminding us that many different parts come together to form one community.
Week 3: Yarn Art
Yarn Painting is a hands-on art activity inspired by the traditional art of the Huichol people of Mexico. Yarn is pressed onto a sticky surface to create colorful, textured designs. After drawing a simple outline or following the provided stencils, yarn is placed along the lines or swirled freely to form vibrant, tactile pictures that the kids will be able to frame for a memorable keepsake.
Week 4: DIY Eid Stickers
DIY Eid Stickers is a creative activity where participants color pre-provided Eid-inspired images or design their own stickers. These stickers can be used to decorate Eid cards, gifts, or keepsakes, adding a personal and joyful touch to Eid celebrations.
For those unable to attend in person, we offer take-home craft kits for all four weeks. Pickup can be scheduled in advance.
Note: No refunds are allowed due to the prior purchase of materials specific to each program. However, you can transfer or gift your spot to someone else.
Important Notes:
