Ramadan is a beautiful time to introduce children to meaningful traditions through hands-on creativity. Making crescent moon and star sun catchers is a simple, engaging craft that helps kids connect to the symbols they see throughout the month in a way that feels magical and memorable. For nannies this craft also opens the door to age-appropriate conversations about Ramadan’s themes of kindness, gratitude, reflection, and community. It’s more than just a decoration — it’s an opportunity to blend creativity with cultural learning in a way that feels joyful and inclusive.
