Different activities along the week !

Bismillah ,

Assalam u alaikum warahamatullahi wabarakatuh ,

Subahan trying to trace her different personals :) polishing her skill of hand control

pasting with craft glue - no more UHU , a good exercise of hand muscles when she squeeze the white glue with pressure.

alif writing

baa

concentrating in Allah gives me food workbook

her first ever written words , mashallah , baba , mama , Allah ,  the fourth one i couldnt understood :P

sweeping all around the house

the net result of tracing

she got hand on the sticker book , very busy while i was working

splashing colors

this moment i would never forget ; what happened is tht i was praying zuhur  , she stood beside me , when i finished my prayer , she told me tht look mama i have hide my doll's face because u are praying and she is also doing sajda with you :)

It's all about alternatives ! ( if mind and time is used wisely)

If anyone of you has visited ummihomeschoolsme blog , she has told about the alternatives . I left a comment on her blog so thought to post it here too.

Similarly , m thinking about this tv viewing and youtube plus ipad applications too much these days, we have tv at home , but alhamdulillah we don’t watch tht much but still sometimes I get afraid that if I m working in kitchen or taking bath , shaitan must not let me to switch on tv just for the sake of time pass until I get back to her . Alhamdulillah , I have controlled it completely today with Allah’s help . Guess what ! What my 3 yr old did in my absence ! She painted a picture of children praying salah with her fav color pink ,ended with strokes here n there

- then she peeled garlic for me

- then she got hold of iron n presume that she is ironing her clothes like her mama . She brought a bunch of clothes from her closet.

- then she sprayed water from water spray bottle on leaves of different plants in the kitchen’s balcony.

- then she played with pebbles , sorting out in big and small separately .

MashAllah , I was observing her through out those two hours.

N now she is reading a library book named ” all kinds of people” , bob books , goodnight moon!

I mean how many alternatives are there for our kids to explore with their own hands.

I think , leave the alternatives to the kids with the sources and stuff spread everywhere in home.

An then watch the show! :-)

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.

Practical Life Skills - Activity 1

Bismillah ,

Assalam u alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

We did another activity related to practical life skills.

I provided two containers ( once closed with a slit - i used roasted honey peanuts can - RECYCLED ) and the glass contains pasta of flower shape. I gave a demo to Subhana that how she has to insert this flower pasta in a can.

AlhamdulAllah she followed me and loved to repeat it again and again. I also asked her to do counting too.
