Busy bag: activities for busy parents, to make their toddlers BUSY with!!! ;D
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
MashaAllah there are lots of working mothers out there hoping to teach their kids.. no worries mums, i knew some mothers who are working, but still in control of their children. The principle: firm, creative and lots of prayer :).
Even i am a fulltime housewife now maybe for another a year more, Allah knows, how my struggle with the time is. Quite lots of time I kept brushing away my toddler and telling her that i can't play with her because I have got some work to do.
One day in this week Allah inspired me to make "busy bag activities".. activity that the kids can do on their own, and masha allah..we could escape from them for another chore without any guilty feeling. They will love it too!
You can google about busy bag activities; they should include several skills for your toddler, and easy. Don't plan for too hard activity because you want them to stay away from you for a longer time. Rather, pick up simple different activities, maybe 2-3. Toddlers have short attention span and they will become tired shortly too.
You can put these activities in your children's bag to bring to the nursery, or travel. InshaAllah I am planning to make some before we departed to Manchester next week.
CAUTION!
Do not give just colouring pages!
Use different materials, not just worksheets, such as colored papers, glue, scissors, stickers and etc.
These are some of the activities I had done so far.
Mother's day week
I told her to decorate a kite. She end up with decorations on the door...hmmmmmmm..alright :)
Learning the letter C (phonics level 2). For this kind of activity I taught her the sound of C, and the things that started with C.. then she did the practice. Don't forget to hang them so that they can remember the lesson!.
Butterfly art with paint.
That's all I wanted to share today. Jazakumullahukhair for visiting :)
May Allah ease your way raising your children.
I forgot to include:
whenever your children is busy with their activities, turn on quran recitation for them to listen to. You'll make them memorize the verses effortlessly! Inshaallah, as their hearts are soft and clean..ready to absorb anything from the surroundings. Moreover, the effect of Quran to the heart is amazing, so build it in your children's life. The love of the Quran. It makes them more calm Inshaallah...
Sorry for the weaknesses in my writing. Till next time, wasalam. Please make good du'a for me and my family InshaAllah..:)
