Yusuf's Workplace

This is what Yusuf's workplace looks like these days [we change it around often].
It includes:
-pictures to illustrate the timings of the five daily prayers
-a poster of names and pictures of tools
-his measuring activity
-his hammering activity
-a container of leaves we collected on a walk [and will be doing a craft with them soon]
-his daily schedule of things he needs to get done in the day
-a new calendar I purchased from Scholar's Choice recently
-and Ibby's toy parked beside it :)

Measuring

Since Yusuf is into tools these days I gave him a measuring tape to measure different things in the house. It was a little advanced for him but I helped him and he really enjoyed it.

Hammering

Got this from our friend @ handmade beginnings [sorry cant find the link for that post].
My grandpa was here last weekend doing some jobs for us around our place and since then Yusuf has been really interested in tools.

Baking Cookies

Today we made cookies. It was really fun! :) We got the recipe from here.

We made a few batches.. including one giant cookie, and a blue batch that Yusuf made with his cookie cutters. InshaAllah well take them to playgroup tomorrow to share with our friends :)

White Board Writing

Were still using the white board to write. Today I took it off the wall and put it on the floor for him which he enjoyed. I also wrote some words for him to copy which mashaAllah he did really well.

Egg Carton Math

After having breakfast yesterday I took the egg carton and put numbers 1-18 on them. I got a bunch of beads and tried explaining to him how to put the number of beads into each section. He didnt really understand so Baba came and put the activity into basketball terms which helped him understand. Thanks Baba!
