What is Dressing Up for Eid about?
Dressing Up for Eid is an Islamic dressing-up game for children aged 4 to 6 in which they help two rats get ready for an Eid party.
Ratty and her husband, Mr Rat, are excited. They are going to an Eid party, and they need to look super smart. Children help them get dressed for the day. On the cover, Mr Rat wears a long green top and an embroidered cap, and Ratty wears a bright yellow outfit with a pink headscarf and a sparkling brooch.
Getting dressed up is one of the joys of Eid for many Muslim children, and this game lets them join in the fun of choosing an outfit. It is a natural way to talk about how families get ready for Eid: new or best clothes, visiting relatives and friends, and celebrating together after Ramadan or during the days of Hajj.
Wearing our best clothes on Eid follows the example of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who made himself ready for the day. After the game, parents can ask their child what they would like to wear for the next Eid, and who they would like to visit.
Dressing Up for Eid is a Miraj original.
