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

Ramadan Craft

 Assalaamu alaykum!

This is Sumayyah. I am 6 years old.

I made a Ramadan Craft with my mum.

You will need:

Cardboard

Silver paper (sticky is better)

Foil shapes

pencil

glue

wire or thread

something round to draw around

like a plate

Star shaped template or

star shaped cookie cutter

A toothpick

Here are the photos.

Draw around a round shape on a piece of cardboard.

Make a crescent shape out of it.

Then draw around a star shape. I used a cookie cutter.

Cut out the shapes carefully with a scissors or ask a

grown up to help you.

Now get your craft things ready.

Cover the shapes with silver paper.

Now choose some nice foil shapes and stick them to

both sides of your moon and star.

Ask a grown up to pierce a hole in

the star and the moon with a toothpick.

Then using thread or thin wire, fix the star to

the moon. Then make another hole in the moon

for hanging it up.

Now hang it up and enjoy it.

Love,

Sumayyah
