If you are looking for some amazing Eid Party Ideas that are suitable for kids, then these Eid Party Ideas for kids will really help you out this year. The party ideas includes all of the things that kids LOVE when they think of Eid. Create lasting memories for the little ones and get them involved in simple festive activities for both of you to enjoy during this Eid.

1. Gingerbread Masjid Decorating Party

Get the mom of the year award by hosting a gingerbread house decorating party. For young children, you can pre-build small masjid cookies out of gingerbread dough or this spice cookie dough that holds up very well. The best “glue” to hold the walls together is royal icing.

Set out an array of sprinkles and give each child a piping bag filled with icing. Let them create their masterpieces. For favors, you can provide kid-sized aprons or cookie cutters.

If you have teenagers and want to kick the theme up a notch, have the teens design and bake their masjid parts ahead of time and ask them to bring the pieces to the party. Then, give everyone an hour to assemble and decorate their houses. Put everyone’s creativity to the test by inviting some judges over to choose the best gingerbread masjid.

2. Eid Cookie Exchange Party

Cookie making is a fun Eid tradition around the world. You can host a fun cookie exchange party for kids to enjoy at the party. Simply ask guests to bring 2-3 dozen of the same type of cookie to the party, plus enough copies of the recipe for each attendee. Find several cookie recipes here.

Display the cookies on a table with the recipe cards and the child’s name next to each tray.

Then, each child can load up an empty plate with two of each type of cookie. While making their way around the table, the children should pick up a copy of each recipe.

Set up a station where the kids can then decorate covers and bind the recipes into small cookbooks as a memento of the party.

3. Crafty Eid Party

It wasn’t all that long ago that Eid gifts were made rather than purchased. Bring back the tradition by hosting an Eid craft party.

You can do this in a simple way by setting up three or so stations where the children can make different decorations or small gifts. Guests also could make wrapping paper or Eid cards at the party. The crafts should be enough of a favor themselves, but you could also send creative kids home with a blank artist’s notebook and some washi tapes.

4. Party With a Purpose

It’s natural for kids to associate Eid with receiving presents, but you can help them find the deeper meaning by reaching out to those who are less fortunate.

Throw a party with a purpose by focusing on a charitable theme or simply asking guests to bring nonperishable food, lightly used clothes, or other donations to the party.

As an activity, kids can make a sadaqa jar where they can save up for charity through out the year. Find an easy sadaqa jar craft here.

At the end of the celebration, you can talk about what you’re grateful for this holiday season and donate the goods to the charity of choice.

5. Eid Around the World

Give your kids’ Eid party an international theme by hosting an Eid around-the-world party.

Assign a different country to each child. Be sure to include Muslim countries such as Turkey, Morocco, Indonesia, etc. Research how other cultures celebrate Eid and allow kids to pick a country that is relevant or inspirational to them. Feel free to assign one country to more than one child.

Ask everyone to bring a dish that represents the culture assigned to them. Also, ask each kids to learn and say how to say “Eid Mubarak” in the languages of their assigned country.
