Ramadan: Lights At Night - Bottle "Lanterns"

Assalamu alikum,

Day two took a crafting sideline to pick up some furniture and our two chirpy new family members. The children were so excited by the birds that entertainment was not required.

So.......

Ramadan Day 3:

Lesson - The lights at night: Tying into our moon crafts and study, today we are learning that the moon is a reflected light from the sun. D will continue to study moon phases while A is learning what types of lights we might see at night. Here's the list I've pre-thought:
     Moon, Stars, Fireflies, Streetlights, Porch Lights, Car Headlights, Signs,
     Flashlights, Lanterns, Solar Lights.

Craft - Lanterns: We had so many extra tissue squares from the moons that I decided to make some decoupage "lanterns".

Materials: Tissue squares, paintbrush, watered down glue (1:1 glue and water), glass soda bottle, glowsticks

I "painted" half the bottle with the glue and the kids stuck pieces of tissue on top. After each small section, I repainted over the tissue to lay down the corners and cover all the paper. After the whole bottle is covered, A decided to add glitter (She's a girl, who can blame her). Tonight we will put a couple glowsticks in the bottle and we will have a little "lantern" for our backyard.

Ramadan Mubarak!
