Celebrate Ramadan through creativity! A trio of hands-on craft experiences invites families and children to explore the beauty, symbolism, and joy of Ramadan in a fun and meaningful way. 

Ramadan is a special month when Muslims around the world focus on being kind, thankful, and patient. It’s a time for families and communities to come together, learn, and practice good habits.
