Children are not required to fast in Ramadan till they are close to puberty at around 10 or 12. Thefirst time a child fasts is a cause for celebration for most Moroccan families. Girls, in particular, are given a special festive ceremony at Iftar, following their first day of fasting. They are seated at the table dressed in their best traditional clothes, given a special drink based on a freshly beaten egg to break their fast and have their hands dyed with henna.

Interesting. so the tradition is not sub-continent specific. I think there is a similar tradition like Bismillah in Hindus when their children start reading.
