Asalamu alaykum ladies. We did this lesson more than a year ago or so, but I thought I’d share the idea because it was one of those spontaneous unplanned lessons that turned out to be really beneficial, alhamdulillah (I love it when that happens!) We were doing a unit study on Africa at the time, […]

Asalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu I hope everyone is doing well and getting excited for Ramadan which is less than a week away! Today, I’d like to share another Ramadan activity that can be done by the whole family. Like our Gratitude board, this ones not just for the kids. Kids, parents, grandparents and […]
Read MoreAsalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu Ramadan is mere days away, and as it draws closer our excitement increases. Most Ramadan crafts and activities tend to be for children but this one is for everyone. We have done our gratitude board before, and now everyone is looking forward to using it again, Allahuma barik. The […]
Read MoreAsalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies, Ramadan is just days away from us and I wanted my kiddos to be excited! Our beautiful guest only comes once a year, so it’s important we prepare for its arrival. The Salaf us Salih used to prepare way in advance and we are guilty of not having […]
Read MoreAsalamualaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies It was the night before our school week and an idea popped into my mind that encompassed everything my 4-year-old loves; cars, water, and lots and lots of mess! I decided to incorporate a little learning game too as a hands-on way to teach my son about colours.
Read MoreAsalamualaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies, I hope you are all in the best of health and peaks of emaan, ameen. In the last few weeks of our earth science studies we have covered volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountains, and glaciers today; we still have caves and rivers to go. All of this will be leading […]
Read MoreAsalamualaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies We are currently studying the Ancient Egyptians in History and like many, my kids found the concept of hieroglyphics so interesting! So, I decided to do a little project…but not the usual making a scroll and painting. Instead, we decided to make our stone tablets from gingerbread and ‘carve’ […]
Read MoreAsalamualaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies, I decided to make my son something I knew he would admire forever…his very own racetrack! In the past, we’ve bought plastic tracks for trains and cars which are great but the problem is as soon as you lose a piece its game over. Also, the novelty seems to […]

Asalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu Last week me and the kids were learning about China. As part of our curriculum, Expedition Earth, one of the suggested crafts was to build a model of The Great Wall of China. But I wasn’t able to find the same materials that Erica originally suggests in her post, […]
Read MoreAsalamu alaykum ladies, For the last month or so I have been busy preparing, planning, scheduling and organising our coming school year. But Alhamdulillah, we’re almost there. As a way to get our mornings off to a good start and set a positive tone to the day I made a morning board that the younger […]
Read MoreAsalamualaykum mamas, I made our juz Amma tree a while back for one of my kiddos. Alhamdulillah it’s been a while, and since then one of my kids had finished Juz Amma, Allahuma barik, and the others have also begun their memorisation. So today I updated our board by adding a Juz tabarak tree to […]
Read MoreAsalamualaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu mamas Today I wanted to share an activity me and S did together, made from everyone’s best friend, cardboard! One of the hardest things I’ve found whilst homeschooling is how to keep the little ones busy when doing more focused subjects, especially Quraan memorisation with the elder kiddos. With other […]
Read MoreAsalamualaykum mamas, How are you all? Today my youngest and I sat down and did a simple activity together based on one of his biggest passions….. ROCKS. Whenever we go for walks or take a trip to the park S is the first to gather some rocks for his ever-growing collection.
