My 2 sons and dishes

Assalamo aleykum,

This week both my sons have taken up some activity that involves plates. Alhamdulillah.

Yusef is nearly 5, and here he is doing his very first load of washing up: (I know I should have started him on it ages ago, I was lazy I admit it...)

My "baby" on the other hand, who is 19 months old, this week has realised he can reach the kitchen worktop (just the edge, but that's enough to pull stuff down) AND he has learned to climb onto dining chairs. Here's some casualties of his achievement masha'Allah:

 

 I had bought that glass that very same day, Qadr Allah!

 

I have decided that I will keep the biggest bits on broken plates and glasses until we have enough to make something with them.... I'm thinking Gaudi, Parc Guell (Barcelona)

 

 

You think that's ambitious? Never underestimate the amount of stuff your kids can break ;)



I've been drawing ...

Assalamo aleykum,

 

I haven't posted in a while, partly due to the fact that - on top of the usual commitments - I have taken on a few learning endeavours of my own (may Allah increase my knowledge!), and partly because I've been busy exploring some software (with only marginal success) in order to transfer my love of drawing into the digital world. Since my computing skills are very basic (and I have no interest in further them, to be honest) the more sophisticated design software were lost on me (let's just say I now know why there's one called "ArtRage" !!!).

 

So I went back to the simplest thing, which, I found, works quite well for what I want to make.

 

I will be posting in here some samples of my work that can be useful in home education and general Islamic activities to be done with children, in the hope they will be beneficial in increasing their understanding of Qur'an and their attachment to it insha'Allah.
