Another Blessed Month

Assalamu Alaikum

Alhamdulillah we are in the 5th day of Ramadan and here I say "Ramadan Mubarak" to all of the Muslims around the world. This Ramadan I and my kids are missing our humble man dearly, for my hubby is spending his Ramadan outstation. So this year with $weety I made things a little simple;

Hanged last year's bulletin board

What will i do in Ramadan chart made by $weety in Madrasah

Made a tree for memorizing Surahs and Allah's names, will be pasting apples for Surahs and leaves for Allah's names.

Arranged her table for Ramadan

Will be reading Ramadan related books

Doing her Ramadan homework pack from Madrasah

And some of the last year activities we did and did not do.

Ya Allah guide us to the straight path and plz accept the Ibadahs we do in this Ramadan and grant us Jannathul Firdouse...Ameen.

Ramadan Activities

Assalamu Alaikum

These are the remaining activities we did.

I love you card for $weety's Abu who was in I'thikaf

  Fasting day sequence cards from UABCC

These are from $weety's Madrasah journal which I totally forget to take a pic of her Journal.

Had some fun with flash cards

We also played with moon phases nomenclature cards, and always checked the moon phases through this App (above pic)

Ramadan Activity ~ Moon Star Mobile

Assalamu Alaikum

I was planning to do a moon star mobile and luckily one day $weety came from her Madrasah holding a craft which was perfect for the moon star mobile. So I only had to attach some more stars.

Her Madrasah craft 

$weety cutting the stars

Punched holes at the bottom of the moon and the stars. laced all the stars with a knot and tied them to the moon.   

                     

Ramadan Activity ~ My Sadaqa Jar

Assalamu Alaikum

On Ramadan I and $weety discussed about charity and the rewards we get, we also talked about Zakath. So on that day we made: Sadaqa Jar

Bought an empty plastic bottle

Gave her to decorate, and wrote My Sadaqa Jar

Alhamdulillah with the flowers (from Big Sis) it turned out beautifully.

Poked a slit on top

$weety and Sm!ley started to fill it 

And here is her jar waiting on the table to help the poor (and also refills soon as possible :)

Ramadan Activities

 Assalamu Alaikum

This Ramadan I planned some activities for $weety and wrote a post about it here (planning Ramadan). I also said I will be updating the activities we do each day, but honestly we didn't do everything. Each day was different and we did what we can and skipped the rest. So here is what we did:

Spelling out Ramadan in Arabic and English

Find the moon...Telescope

Colored and read the Ramadan little Readers

Ramadan Bulletin board

Assalamu Alaikum

I wanted to make this Ramadan special for $weety and make her understand the blessing of this month, so due to that I made her a Ramadan Bulletin board with 30 days activity for $weety. I know that the activities are time consuming but I thought this will be the age for it, coz when she gets a little older she has better things to do than crafts and activities. So I thought to enjoy the most with her before she gets five, Inshallah.

I wanted the board to be viewed often so I hanged it in the kids room.So here's our Ramadan Bulletin Board; Sorry for the pics, they aren't so clear.  

 The theme of my kids room is purple and pink, so I made the board to go with it.

The first chart is, the good deed chart ready to be filled with stars I hope so.....lol. So I said $weety this is your sky and its plain with a moon so make it beautiful with stars by doing good deeds and if it is filled you will be getting a gift, I think now it will work...lol.

And the other board contains.....;

The Fasting day cycle downloaded from IBB, I made it without the cover and added a peg to indicate the action.

Things that break fast is also from IBB

To count and color the days or maybe if she fasts will be adding a star sticker.

And this is the moon phase from NoorJanan, will be adding as the moon changes.

You'll be wondering what are the pegs hanging down??

These are the 30 days activity, for each day $weety would turn the card and will be doing that activity Inshallah. Its not a must that we should do it all, it depends on our day and $weety's mood. We do it or we skip it :)

Alhamdulillah we are covering everything and has done some activities so far and also skipped some, If I had time Inshallah I will post the activities in Ramadan or after the month.

Ramadan Mubarak

Assalamu Alaikum

Ramadan prep was going on and I thought I wouldn't finish and Alhamdulillah all was done in time. We made the banner and the Bulletin board. For the banner I printed the letters for "Ramadan Mubarak" in bold and we started to color, even Sm!ley was interested in coloring.

$weety has a taste for color...you can see it.

My young artist 

Sm!ley's master piece...

And these are my designs and $weety thought I was crazy when coloring the "M" letter.

So after coloring I cut the letters, pasted in red and beige colored papers, laced it and hanged in the living room.

I was verry happy seeing my first banner looking lovely with the touch of my little artists and my hubby was surprised when entering home after work and wished us all with a big hug. Alhamdulillah!!..
