Preparing for Ramadan with Lala + Mo | Ramadan with Kids

Ramadan Toys, Gift Baskets & Gentle Routines That Help Kids Love the Month

Ramadan is a month that comes with a rhythm, a feeling, and a set of memories our children will carry with them for life.

For parents of young children, the question is:

How do we prepare our kids for Ramadan in a way that feels calm, fun, and meaningful, without forcing concepts they aren’t ready for yet?

The answer is simple: gentle routines + hands-on Ramadan toys + shared worship spaces.

When children are invited into Ramadan through play and repetition, they learn about the month by feeling and living it.

Start with Simple Ramadan Routines 

Young children thrive on predictability. During Ramadan, when schedules naturally shift, routines anchored in play help children feel grounded.

Instead of giving more instructions, we recommend placing the right Ramadan toys at the right moments of the day.

🌅 Morning Quiet Time: Begin the Day with the Quran

When children wake up, their minds are calm and receptive. This is a beautiful time for quiet Quran play.

Morning Ramadan Routine:

• Set out the Juzʾ Amma Puzzle Set in a quiet corner

• Invite your child to explore independently

• No pressure to memorize. Just allow them to touch, match, and recognize

This kind of interaction allows children to:

• Become familiar with surah names and content

• Associate the Quran with calm and comfort

• Ease into the day without screens or overstimulation

Using Ramadan toys like the Juzʾ Amma puzzle turns Quran exposure into a peaceful daily habit rather than a formal lesson.

🌙 Pre-Iftar Calm: Meaningful Play While You Prepare

The hour before iftar is often the most challenging for families. Parents are busy, energy is low, and little ones need connection.

Instead of battling that moment, prepare for it.

Pre-Iftar Routine Idea:

• Keep a small basket of Ramadan toys near the kitchen or dining area

• Include Quran puzzles, prayer-themed toys, or quiet matching activities

• Rotate toys every few days to maintain interest

While you prepare the table, your child:

• Stays close and engaged

• Builds patience and independence

• Feels included in Ramadan preparation

This is where Ramadan toys for kids shine. They transform a hectic window into one of calm play.

Ramadan Gift Baskets That Build Excitement (Not Sugar Highs)

One of the most meaningful ways to prepare children for Ramadan is through Ramadan gift baskets filled with purposeful toys.

Rather than treating Ramadan as something children must “wait through,” gift baskets help them look forward to the month.

What to Include in a Ramadan Gift Basket:

• A Juzʾ Amma Puzzle Set or Quran learning toy

• A child-friendly Quran for kids

• A small prayer mat or tasbih sized for little hands

• A simple Ramadan activity or reflection card

When children receive Ramadan toys of their own, they feel ownership over the month. These baskets become part of daily Ramadan routines and naturally transition into Eid gifts for Muslim kids as well.

Create a Mommy + Me Worship Corner

Children learn worship by watching long before they learn by doing.

A Mommy + Me worship corner creates a shared space where prayer and Quran feel welcoming and accessible.

How to Set It Up:

• Two prayer mats side by side

• A low shelf with:

  • A kids Quran

  • Prayer-focused Ramadan toys

  • Visual dua or salah cards

This space quietly teaches:

• “I belong in worship.”

• “Prayer is part of everyday life.”

• “Ramadan is something we do together.”

When children have toys that mirror acts of worship, they naturally move between play and participation without pressure.

Why Ramadan Toys Matter for Young Children

Children need repetition to learn — but repetition feels very different when it’s joyful.

That’s why Ramadan toys for kids are so powerful:

• They allow daily exposure to Islamic concepts

• They turn abstract ideas into tangible experiences

• They support emotional regulation during a busy month

At Lala + Mo, our Ramadan toys are designed to:

• Teach Quran and Islamic practices step by step

• Support early childhood development

• Build confidence and love for Islamic identity

This is how children learn Ramadan and grow up loving it.

Preparing Hearts, Not Just Homes

Preparing for Ramadan when you have kids is about inviting our children into the month in ways they understand.

Through:

• Morning quiet time with Quran puzzles

• Calm pre-iftar play

• Thoughtful Ramadan gift baskets

• A Mommy + Me worship corner

We create a Ramadan that feels peaceful, connected, and full of barakah.

🌙 Small routines. Gentle play. Ramadan toys that shape lifelong love for the Quran.
