Quran Time!!

Our lil manha begin her journey towards reading Quran! Long time ago she became familiarize  with arabic letters  but now Alhamdulillah done with the vowel         "fat-hah".

It took me a lot of time to find a good qaida...but normally all qaida r black and white  and not at all attractive for kids!

In order to make Quran learning fun and attractive to her I make flash cards for her...
We make alphabet puzzles, explore the      letters with play dough,  learn with writing them and play with "Quran for kids" app!!

Next  step will be vowel Kasra! !

                  

Ltitle steps towards reading!

After a lots activities,  practices of recognizing upper  and lowercase letters and recognizing their sounds  (phonics)...we began practicing blending phonics and start reading three letter words!


For phonics sounds, we play a lot of guessing games...as in "which letter sounds like  ...." or guessing an object which beggining  sounds like. ..." Alhamdulillah now..she always guessed it!

For our blending phonics, we begin with progressive phonics stories. She likes it very much. .and practice them on white boards, with magnetic letters  and with our hand  made cvc cards!!

                    

.

Also she practice sounds and letters worksheets!

Allah made everything! !

"Allah - Al khaliq" was the theme of the day!. We craft a book about Allah..

In which  manha was introduced the term "Al- Khaliq - the creator".  The activity  was throughly enjoyed by manha!

Written by manha

It was holistic  approch activity where she not only learn about Allah but also did painting, cutting pasting plus explore arabic terms of the things she made!!

We read  two books regarding Allah. One was "Allah gaves us food" by goodword kidz and the other one was "Hudhayfa learns about Allah" by Umm An - Numan!

 Also we listen our all time favourite  Nasheed "Allah made everything"  by Zain Bikha!

We also revised  our activity by singing  an urdu poem.."Kis nai banaya phoolon  ko..Allah nai banana ..." we had our own  version of this poem by using arabic words  of the thing we made!..kis bai banaya tuffha (apple)  ko...

Anyhow, she was ver happy to make her own book...and discussing about Allah more often!!

Our Playroom! !

Manha little corner has been upgraded to a playroom mashAllah! !

Manha and her lil brother are always  super excited upon entering this room!! Trying to make it more colorful for them where they can  play, learn and do activities!!

DIY Activity Board!

Since long I want to make activity board for my kids...finally made it!!

I first recycle an old board for it!

Try to use the stuff which attracts kids and no longer useful at my place. Such as door knob,  telephone etc! Other stuff are made for hand motor skill...clipping felt clothes, throwing ball through recycling tissue rolls!! Also try to add learning materials as counting pizza or clock for time and acrylic paints in sealed bags for writing!

It was  fun making it...and manha was very excited to see the final version of it!

My both kids  really enjoy playing with it!! Alhamdulillah! ! :)
