This is from the latest playgroup acitivity.
We learned about "Saying Bismillah".
I read this book to the children first.



Then we made this "Bismillah" mobile.


Just cut out the shapes and tape them to a string, then it's done.
This is how the template looks like.

Children loved these mobiles, alhamdulillah.
My son loved it so much that he started saying more "bismillah"s ever than before, alhamdulillah!

Sorry, it's been a long time!

SubhanAllah! I had been away from this blog for such a long period of time!!!
It's been since the last EId ul Adha!!

I guess it was the longest period of time I didin't post anything here.
The thing is, I mainy post on my Japanese blog.
Here is the link of it, if you like to see it in case: http://ummi.seesaa.net/

My life just gets busier as the number of the children increases, and as they grow older.
In addition to that, I need to plan for the biweekly playgroup acitivities, plan for the weekly Sunday Islamic class at the masjid nearby, and my four-year-old son needs some preschool activities to keep himeself busy, so I don't know how I'm managing all these stuff, but alhamdulillah, I feel Allah's help is with us.

I have lots of worksheets I'd like to share on this blog.
I always wanted to, but I just couldn't find time to come back to here.
So here I am.
Back again, inshaAllah.
I'll try to post the past worksheets and craft activities later on. If only Allah wills!

Well, here are the pics of Spring posters that my daughters made a few months ago.





And some pics from the Spring ttime cooking fun.

May Allah's blessings be upon you all, and may Allah give an end to this nuclear problem in Japan. Ameen!!!
