Animals In Their Habitats Poster

Assalaamu alaykum

We want to share with you a school project

Zainab did when she was in Grade 2.

It is a poster about

'Animals In Their Habitats.'

Hope you like it!

Handmade swords

Zainab here!

Sumayyah and I made a couple of handmade swords.

We used:

Thick cardboard

Glue

Foil

Scissors

Gold paint

Black marker

First of all draw your sword shape on cardboard.

Draw two identical handles as well.

 

Then cut it out.

Paint the handle of your sword with

gold paint. When it dries go around the

edge with the black marker.

Wrap and glue the sword with foil.

Glue the handles to the front and back of the sword.

If you want you can cut out small shapes

of jewels and paint them, then stick them on

to the handle.

If you have silver paint, you don't need the foil.

Have fun playing with your swords!

Love,

Eid Mubarak!

Assalaamu alaykum

Taqabal Allahu mina wa minkum!

Our trip to South Wales, UK

This summer we visited South Wales in the UK.

We spent a week on a narrow boat, it was really nice.

We walked through woods, picked blackberries and

enjoyed the scenery, plants and animals.

We even visited an old castle.

Here are some photos. Enjoy!

Did you go somewhere nice for the summer?

Let us know!

Toilet Roll Craft

 Assalaamu alaykum

Here's a nice easy craft using toilet roll tubes, tissue paper,

corrugated craft paper, left over wrapping paper and

a take away foil covered tray.

During Ramadan we'd sometimes buy snacks

for iftar from a bakery. The snacks would

come on a nice silver tray. We decided to

make something pretty on it.

First we made a flower out of toilet roll tubes.

Cut the tubes into sections and pinch

the ends slightly. You will see that it makes a petal shape.

Leave one of the shapes a circle. This will be the middle

of your flower. Glue this onto the tray where you want

your flower to be. Then glue the petals around the circle.

We used a corrugated strip for the stem and painted it

green. Then we made another petal shape for the leaf.

Then we scrunched up small pieces of tissue paper into balls

and glued them inside each petal.

For the leaf we used shiny green wrapping paper.

We also used the wrapping paper for the grass

at the bottom of the collage.

We then made a border using scrunched

up tissue paper again.

The end result is very nice mashaAllah.

You don't have to do this on a tray, any cardboard

or thick paper will be alright.

Love,

Eid Mubarak!

Assalaamu alaykum!

Star weaving!

Assalaamu alaykum

Here's Sumayyah's 2nd Eid gift for Dad.

It's a woven star!

You will need:

Card - cut into a circle

Scissors- to cut lines around the card (1 inch apart)

Embroidery thread

Directions:

Tie a big knot at the end of the thread and weave in

and out of the lines you snipped out. You can

make any design you want. It's so easy!

Sumayyah used rainbow coloured embroidery thread

for her project.

Enjoy!
