Assalamu alikum!
My husband is teaching D the dua for breaking the fast over the next few days. So for a practical craft we are going to make dua placemats. These would be great for the regular dua before a meal. These are soooo simple or can be more difficult depending on the age level and "artiness" of the kid.
Materials: Contact Paper or Laminator, construction paper, tape, scissors (pinking sheers are fun), printouts of the fast breaking dua in arabic and translation in English (needed in our house).
Placemat Background Ideas:
The duas get glued/taped on after and then the whole thing is covered with contact paper or laminated.
1: Use paints and sponges to sponge on shapes. (small kids)
2. Weave paper strips through slits in another paper.
3. Create a fake plate in the center with silverware on the sides. On the plate, split into thirds for 1/3 water, 1/3 air, 1/3 food. Kids can add their favorite foods in the food section or use computer clipart.
4. Decoupage: Take some sales fliers for various supermarkets and have the kids cut out their favorites, then decoupage all the pictures onto the placemat. (My favorite)
5. Fancy Idea: Print dua onto T-shirt transfer paper, and make a fabric placemat, ironing on the dua (I might leave off the arabic for this one)
Pictures to come! P.S. I have added pictures of our creations on the previous posts. Enjoy!
Ramadan Mubarak
