Last Year with $weety

Assalamu Alaikum

We did some activities last year when $weety was three and didn't get the time to post it, Thought to post one by one but the time's passing and I thought mustn't make it later than this so just posting the pics to remember the fun we enjoyed

• When she was curious about "Big and Small", This was the first activity we did, with the First Math activity book. 

Collected all the materials I could find and asked which was small and big?

At the end I asked out of all these things which is small? And Alhamdulillah she pointed to the small beads which was small.

• Sorting Shapes, Colors and Sizes

At the beginning she only sort half of a set and she's done.  Mashallah one day she did all the three sets.

• Sets 4 pieces of puzzles

When I bought it she couldn't set and began to put away in the box, later on she gave a try and Mashallah she did all four puzzles on her own.  

• Sorting small, medium and big

• Sorting my new pots with lids

It's shining ha!!

• Copies a model

The model was made by me and she quickly started to build and Mashallah still when she takes the blocks she builds the same model first and proudly show me "Ummi's house" (or should i say tower ;)

And also she builds some fascinating models too..which astonishes me, coz she didn't had slight interest in building blocks at first. Always she does is throw and calls me "trouble Ummi" when I take the blocks and start building MY OWN.

• $weety's first matching

Got the small cards from Almah's Journey and the big one from TJ's blog which is not working now.

• First time with the play dough

What did we make??!! .....mmmm.....i think its a...... it looks like a flower pot......aahh! yes a flower pot!!!

 Alhamdulillah for the time I spent with my precious one, Alhamdulillah to the one and only who makes my Children learn and grow in front of us And Alhamdulillah for giving us the.....happy.. awesome feeling by wathching them grow.

The Three Billy Goat Gruff

Assalamu Alaikum

The first story book that i had in hand was The three billy goat gruff. So that's the story book $weety was first introduced to and she loves it still, especially the "trip trap"sound. So i went hunting to do something related to the book, and i found this;

 

A preschool pack from 3 dinosaurs

We had some fun and $weety learned a lot by play and hands on activity. Here we go;

Print, laminate, cut, fold and arranged

Tracing with her finger first

Tracing with the sound "trip trap"

Did the graph (she was totally new to it)

Sm!ley too rolled the dice once :)

And the hill touched its peak

Memory Game

Puzzle.

Before i cut the puzzle i took a pic from my phone so $weety was able to do it her on her own

She did the patterns

Cut and pasted in number order

After the work is done we read the book and  had a small talk about the differences between the characters from the book and the pack.

Story in action

And the other day we played the story with clay. The story was done by $weety.

We arranged the scene

Our little Three Billy Goat Gruff

I'm tooo small for you!!!

Waiting for the next victim

I'm small for you!!!

Trip... Trap...

One big push!!

And then finally the yummy grass

And all the way we had fun imitating the characters. This activities was done months ago and just now had the time to post it

Arabic Alphabet Letter Craft (set 1)

Assalamu Alaikum

Alphabet crafts are very popular among kids and there are lots and lots of craft around the web. When I started the Alphabets with $weety I thought to add a letter craft for the letter of the week, crafts were available for English letters but what will i do for the Arabic letters??? I searched on the net but couldn't find one. 

So I decided to make myself and here they are;

 

 Alif is for Abu ( father)

Added Abi's head with cap and legs hehehe and the beard too :)

Baa is for bathun (duck)

$weety wrote Baa on it

Thaa is for thaaj (crown)

Used glitter and two Nuktha's as gems and wrote Taa on it

Saa is for sa'lab (snake)

Finger paint and added a head

Jeem is for jamalun (camel)

Did this with sand and added a carpet

Ha is for hamamathun (pigeon)

Painted with grey water color and added a beak and a wing. 

Khaa is khathim (ring)

Pasted the Nuktha with colored stones

 $weety holding her letter Jamalun.

I make the craft using Bristol board, as you can see I use stapler to add the attachment to a letter coz stapler is better than glue and most of all small hands like to snap with a stapler than glue. I really loved to do these without adding eyes but once we finish the craft, $weety asked where are the eyes and I explained the subject to her, but she couldn't understand. So I thought i'll do this when she's old enough to understand.

Inshallah next I'll post the other Arabic letters and the English letters.
