Two weeks of Ramadan have passed and how grateful I am to The Almighty for all the blessing and opportunities He has bestowed upon us. Alhamdulillah the little girl has been meeting her friends too during the weekly Ramadan co-ops that we've had and the terawih playdate at Masjid Kampung Siglap.
To welcome Ramadan, a few of my friends had put up beautiful hand-made buntings with glitter foam papers. As much as I had wanted to make one too, time was of the essence. Alhamdulillah I chanced upon free printables online for Ramadan bunting and lanterns. I printed and cut them, laced and put them up with the little girl, and we have our very own bunting.

I found the Ramadan Road Map online too and printed it out so that the little girl could colour the numbers as we track the days. And following Zakiah's advice on how to cut beautiful hijaiyah letters, I printed the word Ramadan that I found online, cut it out, traced the letters on glitter foam, and cut it out again. First hijaiyah letters cut out and more to come inshaa Allah.

On the first Friday of Ramadan, we had our very first Ramadan co-op. Alhamdulillah! Mothers who attended each contributed an activity for the children. Some activities were carried out during the session itself while the rest were taken home as takeaway activities so that mothers have some prepared activities for the children during the week. The following are books and activities for our Ramadan co-ops.
