You will see some old favorites, a perler start to easy into out first day, an advent calendar to count down, a few games to help us through some tough tests, and of course projects on mosques, stars, moons, and Eid (including some fun favors!).
We’ll have some printables to make sure we keep learning, a few recipes to share during iftars with friends, a brand new Ramadan book review and some special guest posts for days that we need a break from social media to enjoy this holy month.
Read on for the Ramadan Crafts 30 Day Challenge on A Crafty Arab.

✨NEW PAST PRESENT EPISODE -- Perfect for English & History lessons!✨ 📚 Reading and writing are our favorite things to do -- same for Newbery Honor author Lesa Cline-Ransome. So, imagine if it were against the law to read a book and you could go to jail for writing a story. You might think that's impossible, but it's a part of America's history that Lesa explores in this episode of Past Present through her non-fiction picture book, FREEDOM TO READ: The Story of Teacher Mary Peake and One Mighty Oak Tree, illustrated by ALA Children’s Literature Legacy Award-winner James Ransome. 🌳 🎬 Watch here to learn how one brave woman risked it all to give Black children in Virginia the gift of education 👉 www.kidlit.tv/PastPresentFREEDOMTOREAD
