Montessori-Inspired Eid Activities for Muslim Families

Eid is a joyful time to connect with your children, your faith, and your culture. But making Eid feel special at home—without screens or sugar crashes—can take some creativity.

At Lala + Mo, we design Montessori-inspired Islamic toys that make learning and celebrating Islam fun, meaningful, and hands-on. Here are 5 beautiful and screen-free ways to make Eid extra special for your kids using Lala + Mo products.

1. Start the Day with an Eid Morning Routine

Set a rhythm that your children can look forward to every Eid:

Wake them gently with “Eid Mubarak!” and hugs.
Let them choose a special Eid outfit.
Play nasheeds for kids during breakfast.
Gift a surprise toy from Lala + Mo to start the day with wonder.

2. Create a Montessori Eid Gift Basket

Skip the candy overload and build a thoughtful Eid gift basket filled with:

Our Arabic Letters Puzzle (a Montessori-style puzzle in vibrant, educational colors).
A Juzu Amma Puzzle (each Surah paired with picture clues to help children reflect on its meaning).
A soft prayer mat or mini tasbeeh.

3. Use Hajj Blocks to Tell the Story of Eid al-Adha

Before Eid al-Adha, use our Hajj Blocks to explain:

The Kaaba, Mina, and the journey of Hajj.
The story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and the significance of sacrifice.
Why we celebrate Eid al-Adha around the world today.

Let children move the blocks and build their own understanding of Hajj through play.

4. Set Up a Mini Masjid at Home

Use our Masjid Playhouse to create a sacred space at home:

Let kids dress up and role-play Eid prayer.
Practice saying the Takbeerat al-Eid aloud together.
Invite siblings or stuffed animals to join the congregation.

It’s a fun, imaginative way to connect children to the rituals of Eid—even when praying at home.

5. Reflect with a Surah Puzzle from Juzu Amma

Wind down after a day of celebration with a spiritual activity:

Choose one of the Surah puzzles from our Juzu Amma collection.
Talk through the illustrations and what each verse means.
Use the Ilm Pen (sold separately) to play recitations and deepen connection.

It’s a peaceful way to tie playtime back to faith, even during the excitement of Eid.

Final Thoughts

Whether it’s building the Kaaba with blocks or reenacting Eid prayer in your living room, Lala + Mo makes it easier to turn Eid into a hands-on learning experience rooted in joy and tradition.
