Do you have a Ramadan Tradition? Ramadan Calendars were our main tradition that we held for many years.
Lately our Ramadan Calendars have not been used as much because of our travels during Ramadan. However, this year we decided that if we are to travel, we are going to bring our Ramadan Calendars with us. Hey, Traditions are important!
** Below were my messages from Ramadhan 2008
Day 1- Today is the first day of Ramadhan, lets make our intention to fast the entire month of Ramadhan. (Wa bisawmi ghadinn nawaiytu min shahri ramadan)
Day 2- You are Mommy and Daddy's special sweetie. You deserve a special treat! (This is the day a candy would be in with the note)
Day 3- Let's go on a walk and find the things that Allah has Created. Then we can get magazines and make a collage to represent our walk.
Day 4- God is One. Say "La Illaha Ill Allah" 33x
Day 5- You are Mommy and Daddy's special sweetie. You deserve a special treat! (This is the day a candy would be in with the note)

So I dug up an old note: Ramadan Calendar Inserts to share with you all.
Each year I would do something different. I found making little squares using Excel works the best, each square fits in the calendar perfectly.
I know others who have put an ayat/dua to remember, a quarter, or a piece of candy in each square.
