10 Ways to Make Dhul Hijjah Special for Your Kids (Faith-Filled & Fun!)

As parents, we all want to nurture love for Islam in our children, not just through words, but through moments that stay with them.

The 10 days of Dhul Hijjah are among the most sacred in our deen. For young hearts, these days are a beautiful opportunity to build faith through joy, creativity, and togetherness — and that’s exactly what this post is all about. 🌙💛

Here are 10 easy, screen-free ways to bring the spirit of Dhul Hijjah into your home, and make these blessed days unforgettable for your child.

🟡 1. Create a Dhul Hijjah Countdown Chart ⭐

Count down the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah using stickers, stars, or a printable tracker. Each day your child completes something kind, creative, or spiritual, let them mark it off.

🖨️ We include a 10-Day Tracker in our Dhul Hijjah Activity Book – ready to print!

🟡 2. Share the Story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) & Ismail (AS)

Use storytelling time as a way to plant seeds of faith. Keep it gentle, visual, and age-appropriate.

💡 Pair the story with a coloring page to help it stick in their heart.

🟡 3. Trace Words Like “Kaaba” and “Allah” in Arabic

Even toddlers can start recognizing the beauty of Arabic letters.

🖋️ Our printable includes Arabic tracing pages so your child can engage hands-on.

🟡 4. Practice Kindness with a Good Deeds List 🫶

Encourage your child to do one good deed each day — even something as small as saying Salaam or helping a sibling clean up.

🌟 Our book has a star-based reward system to keep motivation joyful.

🟡 5. Set Up a Mini Eid Corner 🎁

A small table with Eid books, moon/star lights, and a sheep plushie can build excitement and ritual around the season.

🟡 6. Try a Dhul Hijjah Matching Game

Games teach logic, but they can also teach love for faith. Try a game where kids match a sheep to Eid, the Kaaba to Hajj, or a heart to good deeds.

🧩 Included in our Dhul Hijjah printable pack!

🟡 7. Reflect with “On Eid I Will...” Journaling

Let your child imagine how they want to celebrate Eid — what kindness they’ll show, what dua they’ll make.

📝 Our guided journaling page turns reflection into a keepsake.

🟡 8. Color, Cut, and Create!

Print Eid-themed coloring pages, let them cut out shapes, make banners or even design their own badge for “10 Days Completed!”

✂️ You guessed it — all inside our Activity Book.

🟡 9. Celebrate with a Certificate 🎓

Children love to be celebrated. Wrap up the 10 days by awarding your child a personalized certificate for their effort and remembrance.

🎖️ A beautiful Dhul Hijjah Certificate is included in the pack — ready to color and frame.

🟡 10. Let Kids Lead Their Dhul Hijjah Experience 🧕🏽

Let your little ones choose which pages to do first. Let them decorate the prayer corner. When they lead, they remember. When they remember, they love.
