Nature carnival

While we were learning to keep our environment clean , we got a chance to visit a Nature carnival at Race course park lahore in which many school children took part. It was a good learning experience for us and Hashir enjoyed the colorful stalls prepared and showcased by kids. The main theme was to keep our environment and ourselves clean.

January : Care of environment activities

Asalaam 0 aliekum. Alhamdulillah we had a busy January , a month full of fun. The weather was cold so most of our activities were indoor. We started the year with taking care of the environment activities .Things mostly went as planned.  I have started labelling things in the room as seen below 








Hashir has started helping in folding laundry. These days he perfectly sorts the laundry items like caps, bibs, handkerchief in different piles and match the socks in pairs. He then put them on their assigned places Ma sha Allah. this has made things easy for me and he love to help me while learning maths skills like sorting and matching. 



He has helped with taking out the peas from the pods a couple of times and now he is bored of the activity so he just plays with the peas and sometimes try to through a bunch full on the floor. 















We did this beading activity with a ribbon which is taped at one end and knotted at the other and here you can see it is so easy to learn to bead for young toddlers.







Stacking the rings



Learning to roll and unroll the mat. We are practicing to use the mat as a work and play area to keep home organized and clean.






Next Insha'Allah we will work on keeping Ourselves clean .
