JAKARTA - For your little one who is not too 'enthusiastic' about fasting, there are many things you can do to spread the spirit of Ramadan to him. Here are some of them:

Decorate your home with Ramadan knick-knacks

Your little one definitely likes birthday celebrations, right? Usually, he will be fascinated by birthday decorations that are placed in the corner of the house, such as balloons, bunting flags, or ribbons. Well, you can also use this idea to welcome the month of Ramadan. Make a mini banner or bunting flag that says “Marhaban Ramadhan”, then hang it on the dining room wall. You can also decorate it with balloons and ribbons, so that he will be more excited when he eats sahur and breaks his fast.

Special iftar plan

Since long before Ramadan comes, make a plan with your little one about a special iftar. For example, every time he manages to fast for 5 consecutive days, Mama will invite him to break his fast at a special restaurant.

New koko and mukena

No, this is not a koko or mukena for Eid later, but for worship during the month of Ramadan. Take your little one shopping for new koko clothes or mukena from now on. The advantage, shops and shopping centers are still not too crowded by buyers.
