Jackie A. Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Does anyone have any good ideas for making "Happy Eid" cards this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi I have also been looking for some inspiration for Eid - this morning I resorted to buying 2 packs of cards from Tesco (27p each pack) to decorate the nursery with. Generally they are of shiny card which depict a a large crescent moon with a star and I plan to show the cards to the children whilst supplying a variety of resources from which the children can create their own version of a card. I also got a Ramadam (sp?) type 'advent' calendar which was only 75p (inc. chocs - why do Xmas ones cost so much!!) just to have something else to display - We've have 2 members of staff who are muslim so I'm hoping they will have lots of inspirational ideas.

denisse Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 We have been making Eid boxes this week and going to fill them with dried fruit. We are pre-school and the children loved decorating them today. I am sure that older children would enjoy this activity as well. There is a template on nursery education website, see below for link. Also we are using the colouring sheets and making moons and stars and sticking them to lolly sticks. http://teachershop.scholastic.co.uk/mags/2...ag_issues/21785 Denisse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie A. Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Thank you for your replies. Shall definitely be making the boxes and will probably do some shiney cards - creative cut and stick. I'm sure the cards open the opposite way to traditional cards. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundia Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 We usually make Eid cards based around the crescent moon/stars idea with lots of shiny bits and bobs. We add the greeting 'Eid Mubarak' including Arabic/Urdu script and remembering that cards open the other way from English since the languages are read right to left.

Jackie A. Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Mundia, do you know how I can find out how to write "Eid Mubarak" in Urdu script? I need to find the script on the net and then save it as a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundia Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Jackie, I have colleagues that do them. I can try and see if they would be willing to do one that I can scan in for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
