Original idea from: modestmunchies.com
For this Ramahan, we love the idea of creating an advent calendar like that picture on the top to keep the children motivated and excited throughout, but we think that adding some personality and fun to it, other than just numbers could be tremendously useful. So here are the lists of activities you can do with your children each day of Ramadhan.
Here is the printable for you to pocket in the small cards inside the numbered pockets on the advent calendar. To get this printable click here
