I love to walk through Targets $ Spot section and look for nifty things to enhance our learning experience. The following were very exciting finds! Lil Muallims have been enjoying these for quite some time now. The fact That I paid between $ 1-3 for each just makes it all the more worth it. Walhumdolillah!!!

Landforms & Water Bodies Activity

BUILD YOUR OWN

We had a geography class with some homeschooling friends. Alhumdolillah it was a lot of fun learning. Lil Muallim 2 was the oldest in the group so I asked him to make a model for all the land forms and water bodies we had learnt.
