GOT TO LOVE ART JOURNALING

Don't know when and if the kiddos will reach this level but they are thoroughly enjoying their creative exploration at this point.

While I intend to write a detailed post of our first Art Journaling experience, here are some sneak peaks from their Art Journals .

Lil Muallimah's

 Lil Muallin # 2

and of course Lil Muallim # 3 did not want to be left behind........ he was quite particular about what he wanted and where he wanted it!!! 

Felt Hand Flower

Personalized Flower Brooch

I saw this post at Handmade beginnings and knew that I had to make it with Lil Muallimah. We actually ended up making 2 in one go as Lil Muallimah wanted to gift it to her lil neighbour friend too Mashallah.

Lil Muallimah LOVED the idea wanted to do it all by herself by needed help in making it secure. I really should do more sewing projects with her so she can be more independent Inshallah.

We used the tracing of Lil Muallimahs hands and Lil Muallim # 3 so it was a truly personalized project for us. The added touch of cuteness. Mashallah

If you do not have a toddler handy you can do what the original poster of this activity did here :) She has complete step by steps in pictures too.

Here's what ours looks like. Colors were chosen by Lil Muallimah ofcourse.

I don't have pictures of the second one but we actually used a kids safe safety pin for that one, you know the one that has a lock. Like the one here.

Popsicle Stick Crafts

FUN WITH POPSICLE STICKS

Lil Muallimah and I have dabbled in popsicle stick crafts. After making some typical geometric shaped baskets using a glue gun, we went in popsicle craft frenzy. Infact Lil Muallimah started craving to make things on her own. So I opened pinterest for ideas and voila! Following are some of her copied and original ideas.... Mashallah!

COPY WORK

Wall Decore Snowflake

Earing Stand

ON HER OWN

She made up a story about these characters while making these popscile puppets.

Will share pics of the ones we made together too.....Once I find the pics on my hard drive !!!!! :(
