It all started when...
A mom from Baltimore wanted to combine the wonder of Ramadan and little treats for her young kids, packaged in a beautiful box that could be shared with family, friends, neighbors, or anyone curious about the holiday. And that's how the Iftar Treat Box came to be. Here's a writeup from coolprogeny.com about how we began, and another from the Washington Post focusing on kids during Ramadan.
The Iftar Treat Box has 30 compartments with a sweet treat behind each perforated door. Open one door each day to reveal a chocolate for every day of the holy month and a halal jellybean surprise for the last day. The Iftar Treat Box allows kids to experience the anticipation of breaking fast, while developing their own fun-filled iftar tradition counting down the days to the joyous festival of Eid at the end of the month.
We also hope it represents a beautiful, joyful way to share Islamic traditions with friends and neighbors. Pick one up and spread the wonder of Ramadan!
In keeping with the spirit of Ramadan, 5% of net proceeds will be donated The International Rescue Committee to help refugees in crisis.
3 Designs to choose from all featuring original artwork by award-winning children’s book illustrator, Susan Detwiler
The "Sweet Days..." chocolate box features an iftar scene depicting the ideals of diversity, community, sharing, and joy. The tree in the foreground includes five branches, each labeled with one of the five major components of the religion. The box has 30 perforated doors. Open one square each day throughout the month, to reveal a chocolate treat while the last compartment holds a jelly bean surprise. (Please note: there is no printing on the inside of the flaps.)
The artwork on "Wondrous Days..." chocolate box highlights the wonders of the natural world. In addition to a sweet treat, each compartment reveals a Quranic verse on the inside flap inviting reflection and celebration of the wonder of God's creations around the globe. Each verse corresponds to an image in the artwork, creating a search-and-find activity for each day as well.
The “Blessed Days…” chocolate box shows a townscape depicting the ideals of Ramadan and the actions they inspire, while offering a good deed to be performed each day printed on the inside flap of each square.
