Enjoy Eid with Your Kids-- without Emptying Your Wallet
Eid is a day of celebration! But it doesn’t have to be a day of excessive spending. With many families suffering economically these days, here are a few ways to keep the joy in your Eid without going broke.
Have your children’s friends over for a special Eid breakfast. Remember it’s Eid. . . so it’s O.K. to feed your sweet tooth. How about waffles with strawberries, whipped cream and syrup a la IHOP style. Or, what about fried chicken wings and waffles a la Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles. What about a Southern plate of biscuits, hash browns, eggs and turkey bacon? Let your child join in on designing the menu. Here are a few other inexpensive bun fun ideas.
Bring back memories! Make some homemade games for you and your kids to play. You probably already have everything you need in your home.
· Make and decorate paper airplanes and have airplane races.
· Make and decorate a homemade bingo game.
· Make and decorate a homemade tic-tac-toe game.
· Make a Bean Bag Toss using old rolled up socks and a laundry basket.
· Record funny conversations on a cassette tape player or cell phone.
· Hide small wrapped pieces of candy throughout the house to find.
· Design a treasure hunt.
Use your imagination for more ideas or search the internet.
