Every year, as the crescent moon signals the start of Ramadan, Muslim families around the world look for ways to make the holy month special — especially for their children. We all know the feeling: you want your kids to look forward to Ramadan with the same excitement they see in other holiday celebrations. You want them to feel proud of their faith and create memories they'll carry for a lifetime.
That's exactly why we created Masjid-al-Gingerbread™ — the world's first patented gingerbread mosque building kit. And this Ramadan, we've expanded the collection to include kits inspired by some of the most iconic mosques on earth, plus new crispy treat kits for even more family fun in the kitchen.
Here's a look at the complete 2026 collection and why thousands of families have made this their favorite Ramadan tradition.
WHAT IS MASJID-AL-GINGERBREAD™?
Think of it as the Islamic answer to the traditional gingerbread house — but so much more meaningful. Each kit is an all-inclusive gingerbread building experience inspired by a real mosque from around the world. Inside every box you'll find a building base, pre-baked gingerbread panels, pre-mixed icing with a piping bag, and assorted sprinkles and candy.
No baking required. No hunting for halal ingredients. No complicated instructions. Just open, build, decorate, and enjoy together.
Every kit is crafted with plant-based, halal, and vegetarian-friendly ingredients. They're proudly made in the USA and never mass-produced — each one is made with care and intention. And yes, they're patented worldwide (Patent No. 17592202), because this idea is truly one-of-a-kind.
THE 2026 GINGERBREAD MOSQUE COLLECTION
This year, we're offering four stunning mosque designs, each inspired by a real place of worship that holds deep significance in Islamic history and culture.
Shah Masjid, Iran
Inspired by Iran's Masjid al-Jam'e Abbasi, also known as the Shah Mosque — one of the most beautiful examples of Islamic architecture in the world. Known for its breathtaking tilework and towering iwans, this design brings a piece of Persian heritage to your kitchen table. While your family builds, it's a perfect opportunity to talk about the rich history of Islamic art and architecture.
Old Masjid Al-Nabwi, Madinah
This kit is inspired by the old Masjid Al-Nabwi in Madinah al Marwa — the Prophet's Mosque, one of the holiest sites in Islam. It's a design that carries deep spiritual meaning, and it comes with a special bonus: supplies to build a date palm tree alongside your mosque. For families who have made Umrah or Hajj, building this together can spark beautiful conversations about those experiences. For kids who haven't been yet, it plants the seed of aspiration.
Price: $34.99
Dome of the Rock, Palestine
Our newest addition for 2026. Inspired by the Dome of the Rock in Palestine — one of the most recognized and iconic structures in the Islamic world. Its golden dome and octagonal design are instantly recognizable, and building this gingerbread version is a meaningful way to connect with the history and significance of Al-Quds (Jerusalem) during the reflective month of Ramadan.
Ships on or after February 25th — order now to secure yours.
Putra Masjid, Malaysia
Inspired by the stunning pink-domed Putra Mosque in Putrajaya, Malaysia. This modern architectural marvel sits on the shores of a man-made lake and represents the beauty of contemporary Islamic design. It's a wonderful way to introduce kids to the diversity of mosques around the world — they don't all look the same, and that's what makes our ummah so beautiful.
Price: $39.99
SHARING IS CARING KIT — THE PERFECT SIBLING ACTIVITY
Got more than one little builder in the family? Our Sharing is Caring edition ($54.99) features two gingerbread masjids packaged separately. The idea is that children exchange pieces with each other to build a complete masterpiece together — learning the values of sharing, teamwork, and generosity that are at the very heart of Ramadan.
This kit also makes an amazing playdate activity. Invite another family over for iftar, give each family a set, and let the kids build together while the adults enjoy chai and conversation.
Note: This kit is currently sold out due to high demand, but check back for restocks.
CRISPY TREAT KITS — QUICK, FUN, AND DELICIOUS
Not every Ramadan night calls for a big project. Sometimes you just want a quick, fun activity that ends with something delicious. That's where our Crispy Treat Kits come in.
Crispy Treat Lantern Kit — $24.99
Light the path this Ramadan with a halal crispy rice lantern. This kit includes a keepsake lantern mold, our signature Break of Dawn sprinkle mix, purple and blue icing tubes, crispy rice, and mini halal marshmallows. Just add butter, mold your treats, decorate, and enjoy. The lantern mold is reusable, so you can make these all month long.
Rated 5.0 stars by our customers.
This kit is perfect for iftar party activities, quick weeknight Ramadan fun, treats to share with neighbors and friends, and Eid party favors when paired with our treat bags.

Crispy Treat Palm Tree Kit — $24.99

Ships on or after February 20th.

WHY FAMILIES LOVE THESE KITS
We hear from parents every Ramadan about how these kits have changed their family's experience of the holy month. Here's what makes them different from anything else on the market:
They're 100% halal and plant-based. No guessing about ingredients, no checking labels. Every component is halal, vegetarian-friendly, and made with care in the USA.
They're educational without feeling like a lesson. Kids learn about famous mosques, Islamic architecture, and the values of sharing and generosity — all while having fun with sprinkles and icing. It's stealth education at its best.
They're all-inclusive. Everything you need is in the box. No trips to the store, no searching for halal marshmallows, no pre-baking. Open and build.
They bring the family together. In a month that's already about togetherness, these kits create a specific, tangible moment of connection. Put on some Quran recitation in the background, gather around the table after iftar, and build something beautiful together.
They're not mass-produced. Every kit is made with intention. You're supporting a small, Muslim-owned business — not buying something off a factory line.
HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR KIT THIS RAMADAN
Here are some ideas from our community for turning these kits into unforgettable Ramadan moments.
Set up a building station after iftar. Lay out a tablecloth, put on nasheeds, and let the whole family build together. Take photos and make it an annual tradition.
Use them as conversation starters. Each mosque has a story. Before building, spend a few minutes learning about the real mosque together. Where is it? When was it built? Why is it important?
Host a Ramadan building party. Invite friends and family, give each group a kit, and have a friendly decorating competition. The messier, the better.
Gift them. These kits make incredible Ramadan gifts for other families, especially those with young children. Pair with our Ramadan gift box or treat bags for a complete gift package.
