Children love gifts, and we love giving them. Every parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle knows how fun it can be to give a gift to a child and watch their face light up. In this day and age, there are an abundance of creative and inspiring toys on the market for kids to enjoy, but one area where the quality of products has been poor is Islamic toys. There has been a gap in the market for decades, with quality Islamic toys being very few and far between.
But that has changed in recent years, alhamdulillah! At Darussalam Australia, we believe that our children deserve only the very best so we have partnered with the world’s leading toy manufacturers to bring you the highest quality toys for Muslim children on the market. We are proud to say that we have the best collection in the entire country, and many products are exclusive to us! Here are just 5 of the products that we think the children in your life will absolutely adore:
1. Yousuf and Aamina
Yousuf and Aamina are some of the first plush dolls that have found mainstream success among Muslims. These toys are cherished around the world for the positive influence they have on children. Parents everywhere have delighted in watching their children learn Quran through these dolls. With two levels of content, these dolls rival popular brands like Fisher-Price in terms of quality (learn more here)
These dolls provide your child with an instant friend who talks and sings, teaching them to love all the foundational knowledge they need to become good little Muslims.
2. My Salah Mat
One problem people have been creatively trying to solve for many years is how to make learning to pray easy and accessible for children. Children in the West often learn English as a first language, which means that the Arabic words they are memorising are often foreign to them, then they also have to memorise a sequence of movements that can be hard for them to pick up quickly.
My Salah Mat takes the difficulty out of learning to pray in one of the most innovative products on the market - an interactive prayer mat! This prayer mat teaches children to pray in a fun and enjoyable way, guiding them on what to say and when, with touch pads that detect children’s movements. The mat has many more features than we could list here - check it out below to learn more:
3. My Dua’ Pillow & My Quran Moon Pillow
This pair of pillows have been the go-to gift idea for many years, particularly when gifting new Muslim parents. They feature lots of soothing Quran, Dua’ and a beautiful lullaby nasheed (Full features listed on product pages if you’d like to learn more). On top of these lovely audios, the pillows are as cuddly as you would expect and even light up! They have all the sensory features needed to become a hit with young children.
