Fireman Lapbook

Fireman Lapbook Cover

I find Bilal is very interested in doing school work so I've started to do more activities at home with him since he has a few months before he goes to school.  He loves cutting, writing and doing worksheets.  He is really good at keeping himself busy and loves to do things independently.  I found the template for this Fireman Lapbook over at Homeschool Creations.  Not only did we make the lapbook but we did some of the extra worksheets that can be found at Homeschool Creations.

Inside the Fireman Lapbook

Just making the lapbook was a wonderful activity.  It involved lots of gluing and cutting.  Once it was complete there were lots of activities to do.  The lapbook has pattern making, learning about colours, counting, learning to spell their name, shadow matching and learning Fireman words.

Back of the Fireman Lapbook

After making the Fireman Lapbook, Bilal took it to Hasan's school to show all the teachers.  He was very shy and wouldn't speak but he insisted on showing everyone.  A couple of days later we dropped by our local fire station to show them all his hard work.  We went after school so Hasan could join us.  They both were very quiet while we were there. There were 3 fireman at the station.  They showed Hasan and Bilal the firetruck.  I told them Bilal made this book and wanted to show them.  One of the firemen took it and was so excited saying no one has ever given them anything like that.  I was scared Bilal might say something or get upset they were going to keep it but he was totally fine with it.  They gave both boys a bunch of goodies including fireman hats and markers.  For the next couple of days they would not take off their fireman hats and were once again playing with their firetrucks.  They both are asking when they can go back to visit the fire station!

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).

Toilet Paper Roll Snowman

Another snowman craft made my Hasan.  I saw this idea on  Crafts By Amanda .  She also made children out of toilet paper rolls as well.  They looked so cute I had to get Hasan to make one of them.  I love her idea of how to make the earmuffs...very creative!  This was the first time Hasan used the hot glue gun.  Everything dried very quickly.  We didn't paint the toilet paper roll because I wanted to finish this craft in one sitting.

Here comes the Big Bad Wolf!

In Grade 7, Hasan had a Fairy Tale Monologue assignment.  He chose to do the Big Bad Wolf from The Three Little Pigs story.  He was supposed to be dressed as the character so the challenge for me had begun!  I didn't want to spend any money on this project.  There are wolf masks for sale online but they were pretty expensive for something that would be used only once and it wouldn't have arrived on time.  After a lot of googling I came across a video from Scribble .  The only thing I had to buy to make the mask was masking tape.  Work in progess It took me an afternoon to make this and I loved the whole process.  It's been a long time since I've done something like this.  For the claws, we already had at home the claw gloves Hasan is wearing.  We had bought them for Bilal from Ikea when he was in SK. Overall, it turned out really good and Hasan did an amazing job on the monologue.  It was hilarious and I couldn't stop wat...
