Personalised Eid card making book for child

What happens in your child and the Eid Card Table

1. Your child clears a table and gathers card-making supplies.
2. They choose a card for each person they care about.
3. Your child draws pictures and writes warm Eid wishes.
4. The cards are placed in neat piles beside bright envelopes.
5. On Eid morning, your child gives out the finished cards.

How the first page could read

The table was covered with paper, pencils and shiny stickers. Your child had made room for every colour: green, gold, blue and pink. “These are my Eid cards,” said your child, picking up the first blank square. “Each one needs to feel just right.”

Your child’s name, look and little details replace these words, and the whole story is written for their age.

Why this story works

This personalised Eid card making book gives children aged 4–7 a calm, hands-on role in the celebrations. Your child is not simply making a pile of cards: they pause to think about who each card is for, choosing colours, drawings and words that suit a grandparent, sibling, neighbour or friend. The familiar activity of folding paper, finding pencils and lining up envelopes makes the story easy to follow and talk about. It also creates a gentle prompt for your child’s own card-making table before Eid. Their photo becomes the hero of a 32-page book, with age-appropriate words that make the finished story feel made for them.

Reading it together

• Read it before an Eid card-making session and let your child choose one person for their first card.
• Pause at each card in the story to ask who your child might be making it for and what picture they could draw.
• Keep the book nearby on Eid morning so your child can look back at your child sharing their cards.

Suggested art style: Storybook watercolour

Soft watercolour gives the paper, pencils, envelopes and Eid colours a warm handmade feel. A sidekick idea: a small robin who carries spare stickers. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.
