I’ll never forget the look on my grandmother’s face when my daughter handed her a homemade Eid card last year. The card was crooked, covered in way too much glitter, and the spelling of “Eid Mubarak” was, let’s just say, creative. But my grandmother held that card like it was made of gold, her eyes filling with tears. She kept that wobbly little Eid greeting card on her refrigerator for the entire year until the next Ramadan came around. That moment taught me something beautiful. Store-bought cards might be perfect and glossy, but a handmade Eid greeting card carries something no amount of money can buy: a child’s love, time, and effort.
At Apple Tree Pre-School BSD, we do card-making projects all the time with our students. We’ve learned that creating an Eid greeting card is about so much more than craft time. It’s about teaching children to express love, appreciate family relationships, and take pride in creating something meaningful with their own hands. Grandmothers especially treasure these handmade treasures because they represent precious moments with grandchildren. An Eid greeting card made by little hands becomes a keepsake that grandmas show off to everyone who visits.
The best part about making an Eid greeting card is that it doesn’t require fancy supplies or advanced artistic skills. Young children can participate fully in creating something genuinely beautiful and heartfelt. We’re going to walk you through making an Eid greeting card that’s simple enough for preschoolers but lovely enough that Grandma will absolutely cherish it. Let’s create something special together that strengthens family bonds and makes this Eid extra memorable for everyone involved.
