below they are:

threading - fine motor skill

bird as a pet...soon her partner will be arranged  inshallah 

trying to fit in her small cot

throwing - gaining her self esteem and confidence

reading book "Allah's Zoo"

making a turtle with the help of a bowl and constuction paper - it involves cutting, pasting  and ofcourse patience

a final product. she chose this craft from a craft  book by herself

Anybody knows whats the name of this bird? couldnt figure out uptil yet!

Sorting between big and small !

Bismillah ,

Assalam u alaikum warahamatullahi wabarakatuh ,

This is another activity introduced to subhana that how to sort between big and small, asked her to pick one by one not to grab a bunch of them. I provided her with small and big colorful pom pom balls , 2 glass containers ( recycled from cream cheese spread bottles ) . She enjoyed .

 It refined her fine motor skills through her fingers. Motor skills are motions carried out when the brain, nervous system, and muscles work together. Fine motor skills are small movements , such as grabbing something with your thumb and forefinger — that use the small muscles of the fingers, toes, wrists, lips, and tongue.
