Free Download: Eid Bag

As we prepared for Eid, we made Eid bags. The children were happy to just play with the empty bags. They put things in it to carry and pretend they were shopping. Let's just say they were super excited when I filled each bag with a toy, a sweet bag and a leaflet of stickers!

If you want to make one too then read the instructions and download below.

Free Download: Eid Activity Book for Little Kids

Due to the popularity of the Ramadan and Hajj Activity Books for Little Kids, I've made a complement book on Eid. It takes children through the ten things that we do from when we wake up on the day of Eid: take a shower, use the miswak, put on clean clothes, spray perfume (for boys), eat a date (for Eid ul Fitr), takbir, going to the Eid prayer, zakat al Fitr (for Eid ul Fitr), Eid prayer and dua.

Letter of the Week: b for bees

I've got a lot of toilet paper rolls and have been wondering what to do with them. When we learnt the letter t, I was going to have the children make a tree with them but there's nothing much they could do with the tree except maybe use it as a prop for their toys.

Just as well that I didn't because they make great bees especially with the adhesive funny foam eyes that I've recently found. The eyes really gave them a personality of their own.
