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)

Another view of inserting

see her concentration:)

A great way to keep your toddler busy

Final product :) Is it looking beautiful???

A big bowl with some rice, a glass and a spoon. She is filling rice in a glass with a help of spoon :)



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

Horse Ride

Bismillah,

Few weeks before we went to some park here where there was a horse... i thought WHY NOT Alishbah take a ride!!... Ofcourse it will develop some self-confidence in her. And how much she enjoyed??? No words to describe :)

One day she will learn horse-riding inshaAllah :)

Love with Animals

Bismillah,

I have introduced some animals to Alishbah and she watches Learn Zoo Animals. The only thing i added that all these animals are created by ALLAH. We will soon visit any zoo inshaAllah for seeing all animals LIVE

Animals Video:


Her favourite animal is BIRD especially a flying bird. In addition, we also give food to birds by putting a bowl of water and bajara in our gallery. And when bird comes to eat she runs saying BIRD BIRD.

Reading Skills: abc Phonics

Bismillah,

These days I have started working on abc phonics. For this, she watches playlist ABC Phonics (please ignore the music... i am unable to find music-free video) everyday only for 15-20 mins. For introducting ABC i am following book  How to teach your child to read

Attached magnetic ABC on our fridge

Quran Listening

Bismillah,

Alhumdulillah, Alishbah loves listening Quran and yes this is our everyday and a MUST todo activity (since when she born) and now she started repeating some verses/words whenever I read/play any Surah (Alhumdulillah).

I found a very good and effective article on Teaching your child the Quran

Before sleeping she listens
  • Surah Fatehah,
  • Ayat-ul-Kursi,
  • Surah Al-Kafirun,
  • Surah Al-Ikhlas,
  • Surah Al-Falaq,
  • Surah Al-Nas,
  • Masoon Dua before sleeping
  • Surah Al-Mulk (sometimes)
  • Last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah(sometimes)

You can watch all above through playlist To Be Listen Before Going To Bed.
In addition, we also listen Quran while painting, playing, eating etc
