April's Homeschool Favourites
Watch This Video for an overview of all these products:
Rush Hour Logic Game
This game has provided hours of entertainment for our family. It is a classic logic game, where the aim is to get the red car out of the traffic jam by moving the sliding blocks/cars out of the way.
There are different levels of difficulty, and it come with a handy draw-string bay to keep the pieces together.

What I loved most about this game is that even though it's fun, it felt like it was making my son think! I mean REALLY think!
It's a great way to develop problem solving and critical thinking skills, and exercise little (and not so little) minds.

Now that spring is upon us, we are spending more time outdoors. In particular, an important part of our homeschool curriculum is the study of nature.
We've been using these
A Drawing a Day
This colourful book by Usborne is filled with instructions on how to draw 366 different things; animals, vehicles, buildings, food...Plenty to keep your children interested.
It give simple step-by-step directions that make it easy for children to follow along and work independently.
There is plenty of space to draw in the book itself, and the pages tear out easily. It is very child friendly and lots of fun! I would recommend it for children over 5 years-old.

The Fun Dough Arabic Letters surely looks fun. It's refreshing to see old school toys nowadays when a lot of parents just through gadgets to their kids to keep them entertained.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! Personally, I think the old-style toys have a lot more to offer than many 'modern' toys.
DeleteI'm a homeschooling mom of three, ages 1-6, and I think all of these are great ideas. How cute are those binoculars? My children will love looking through it, and I really like the arabic letters activity.
ReplyDeleteThe binoculars are great and they work really well. Even I like to use them when we spot a new bird in our back garden :)
DeleteThat game looks great - I love games that get the family playing together and keep you thinking at the same time. And I've never seen that letter set before. It's such a great way to teach little ones while having fun at the same time.
ReplyDeleteRush Hour is brilliant! Since it has multiple levels, I hope it will be a favourite even when my children are teenagers inshaAllah.

DeleteSalaam sis,
ReplyDeleteWe just established a small Islamic school for Muslim children around our neighborhood. We decided to have an Islamic school for them because Philippine International schools here in Saudi don't prioritize Islam and Arabic subjects in their curriculum.
Our teacher staff have been looking for interesting activities for the pupils, in shaa Allah will recommend this play dough set and will check out more of your posts.
JazakAllah khair.
