The mama behind Zara and Mama

Hi, I’m Rabia.

I’m a stay at home mama, a Fine Arts graduate, and the mama behind Zara and Mama.

Easy play ideas, fun DIY crafts using recycled materials, fun learning concepts, and easy go-to food recipes. A simple piece of paper is all you need to excite and teach your child!

Zara and Mama started as a small project during COVID: sharing the things we could make and do with children at home. Drawing, wall art, recycled crafts, and a little imagination.

That creative corner grew into family cooking and lunchbox ideas, too. The materials may change, but it is still about making something together.
