Tying Knots


I had seen this activity on Teach Preschool a long time ago and initially wanted to get Hasan to do it.

I bought a skipping rope and cut it into 3 pieces to have him learn to make knots.  He wasn't interested so the ropes sat around.  I thought this would be a good time to get Bilal to try this activity out and he loved it.  He sits down with the ropes and will just tie the knots and then untie them.  It's amazing how kids are so different.  This was an activity that didn't interest Hasan, but Bilal really took to it.  When Hasan saw what Bilal was doing, he also wanted to learn.  I think it's a great way for Hasan to learn how to tie shoe laces.

Craft Stick Fish

I saw this craft in Easy Fun Crafts with Everyday Items .  I have a bunch of craft sticks and it looked very simple.  In the book they used bigger sticks...mine were the size of Popsicle stick.  I didn't have enough of one colour so I mixed it up.  I let Hasan pick the colours.  We glued a couple of magnets on the back and Hasan gave it to his Nani (maternal grandmother).

Styrofoam Pounding

It's been a long time since I posted anything on this blog.  Things over at  Chocolate & Chillies have been keeping me busy.  I wanted to share with you this activity I did with my boys.  A while ago my friend was visiting from Louisiana and she had her kids doing this activity. It's very simple and kids love it.  It is kids banging golf tees into a piece of styrofoam.  I wouldn't do this with a large group of kids because it can get dangerous.  I had trouble pulling out some of the pounded in golf tees.

Toilet Paper Roll Octopus

I saw this craft a long time ago and thought it would be good to do with Hasan.  It's pretty simple and I've seen it on numerous websites .  The hardest thing for Hasan was waiting for the paint to dry.  We completed it in two days because Bilal woke up early from his nap after Hasan was done painting.
