Meet Zara and Mama

A creative life, together.

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.

“Play because kids don’t remember their best day of Television.”
