Sr Alif inspired us to think of what fall activities we could do to avoid the temptation of Halloween night. So we asked all the busy ladies what they were up to this week. Here is what Sr Reminder had to share….
Sister Reminderblogs
I took this time to help my five year old reflect upon the many wonders of Allah’s creation. We discussed the changes taking place around us. We examined the leaves in particular….how each leaf had a unique shape (and color) in spite of it coming from the same tree. We compared these to leaves that came from other trees. We noticed how each type of tree had its own unique shape. We tied this in with Allah’s 99 names and how each quality of Allah’s is reflected in each one of His names. We focused on the name Al Mussawir or the Bestower of forms /Shape Maker (in kid language). Even if you live in a country that does not experience the wonders of fall, you can still discuss leaf shapes and other shapes around us that Allah has created- shapes of trees, or shapes of fruit and vegetables, etc. Download the booklet we made here (Booklet Al Mussawir). Remember to print it back to back before you hand it to your child color.
We placed different textures under each page to get a different look. We placed actual leaves under each leaf to get a leaf imprint. We placed the vegetables and fruit on natural surfaces to see what texture we could get. My child left this activity knowing and understanding one of Allah’s names. Alhumdulillah, job complete!

I have included the template so you can do this with your child, InshAllah.

This is such a helpful download! May Allah bless your hard work and help you in your endeavor to create such worksheets for our ummah’s children (ie. hint, hint, we want moreee!!!)
and also love the leaf imprint idea with crayons…..what a nice way to understand the details of Allah’s creation?
