My Helping Hand in cleaning

Bismillah,

Assalam o Alikum Warehmatullahi Wabarakatuhu:

Yes yes i am still alive...  we were on the trip to pakistan for more than 2 months and Alhumdulillah i am back again on blogging.

Today, Alishbah spill her milk. I thought this is a correct time to teach her cleaning so i gave her a tissue paper to wipe and Alhumdulillah she clean the floor neatly :)
Moreover, she now also help me in cleaning other home stuffs.
BIG ALHUMDULILLAH for this helping hand :)

Painting without actually touching it !!!

Bismillah,

Yes these are some painting done by Alishbah and me.... and without actually touching the paint. I then attached on the fridge :).   How?????

For this you will need:

Baking paper/wax paper  (i bought it from Dhs 1-10 shop for just Dhs 4)
Some colourful paints (preferable arcylic paints)

Now what we done

Alishbah putting some paints on baking paper

I then put another baking paper over it and now Alishbah is pressing the paints forming a texture

This what happened after some couple of presses by me and Alishbah

Then I de-acttached the paper(you will get 2 paintings now) dried them off and then cut down the edges. Tand-dana DONE!!

Pouring

Bismillah,

For developing hands control and eye-hand co-ordination in your kid, one of the simplest way is to put a big bowl with water and some small pots

Alishbah pouring water in a jug

Again, a good way to keep your child busy :)

Messy Play: Kneading

Bismillah,

Whenever i knead wheat dough Alishbah always come and try to put hands on the bowl but this time I give her a bowl add few drops of green colour and little water... She spends hours in playing... Nice way to keep your toddler busy!!

Wheat with water and few drops of colour

Alishbah enjoying and mixing

Nice excerise for toddlers

Playing with wheat dough is fun and (most) young children love it. It actually helps in developing control and strength of the muscles in their fingers and hands. Those same little muscles which they need to be good and strong to hold a pencil and write with :)

Puzzle--ing

Bismillah,
We always try and provide our children with the best food so that they have all the nutrition for their proper growth. But what do we do for their mental growth????
Puzzles provide the food for brain right from early childhood. Toddlers love puzzles because these educational games challenge their mind and we love the benefits they give our precious little ones.

I know she is not attaching all correct BUT its f9 :)

Puzzle helps in Problem solving, Cognitive skills, Hand eye coordination, Motor skills and Confidence


Filling and Threading!!

Bismillah,

One of the effective way for developing fine-motor skills is threading and filling. It also helps in Hand-Eye Cordination. So here are some activities that she did this week

I put some peanuts in a box

Alishbah taking out one peanut from box

And putting it in a bottle

Inserting some colorful cheerios in a skewer (i attached a small hair-clip at the end so that cheerios dont come out from the other hand)

A great way to keep your toddler busy

Final product :) Is it looking beautiful???

More activities like this will come SOOOONNN!!! (inshaAllah)

Cooking Fun

Bismillah,

Few days back i was crushing black peppercorns in a hand crusher. Alishbah quickly ran towards me and try to get the crusher... i remove the peppercorns and gave it to her.. GUESS what she did.... she started crushing her biscuits and then enjoyed eating them MashaAllah

crushing biscuits

final product :)

Messy Play: Finger Painting

Bismillah,

Last week we started some finger-painting
Alishbah like to paint  BUT BUT BUT more love to paint on her own (hahahahaha):) The painting experience was a bit tough and messy experience for me so try it just before bath time.
 (I will try making edible paint at home later inshaAllah)

What is this mamma??

pressing and feeling the paint

see her happiness

Her first ever painting (ofcourse i helped her)

finger painting is very beneficient in developing eye-hand cordination, fine motor skills and sensory touch. What looks like a mess on the surface is truly a learning experience for your child.

Chunky Puzzle: SHAPES

when we gifted Jumbo Shapes Chunky Puzzle (by Melissaa and Doug) to Alishbah... she got soo much excited after seeing the jumbo-sized shape pieces and a puzzle board. At first she find difficult to solve and ask me to solve but then after 3-4 tries she was able to solve all the shapes Alhumdulillah...

These kind of puzzles can be used for developing fine motor control, encourages hand-eye cordination —and for building visual perception and matching skills!
