Al-Kitab-Ul-Hadees🌷

Day .22…Hadees No 21 👇🏃‍♂️

🌷Aslam-O-Alaikum Dear members.🌷

Our today’s Hadees is Down 👇

The Topic of the Hadees of the Day is The importance of Salah.

For English members:-

Today we will teach our kids about the importance of Prayer. We all know that Namaz is compulsory, not optional, but only a few people offer their prayer. And those who are punctual, Their actions are also not according to true Muslims.
Prophet Muhammad SAW said, Pray Differs a Muslim from a kafir. If we want to guard our children against kufr and kafir then we have to teach them the importance and punctuality of Prayer. So that they would offer their pray like Shabah. So that they would get close to Allah and live a sin-free life. But the point to ponder is that, if our good Terbiyat makes them punctual to offer prayer and one from the parents don’t offer the prayer, then there is a high risk that our child would say us, kafir. So we should be punctual and sincere in our actions. Here is no leave from Salah. And if we will skip Salah for our other activities, then It is not Allah who needs us. He will also forget us. He will not feed us at the bed, but he will be kicked us away and we will get tired of achieving the goal for this world. The message of out today’s story is that the door of Jannah will not be opened without a key to Salah. And without Salah our all other good deeds will be wasted. Salah protects us from Shaytaan and sins.
Our today’s story is The friend of ALLAH and Devil. I don’t have the written content of this story. As I wrote this with the help of my memory. So I’m giving an outline of this story. Please read this story as a bedtime story for your kids. And make sure to write this hadith at any board or hang the t wall to memorize.
The outline of the story is
Once there was an old man. He was very poise and a true believer of Allah. Because of his Abadah, Good character, and helpful nature, Allah had made him His friend. Shaytan tried his best to indulge him in any sin but failed. He came to him again and again but his Salah was protecting him from shaytan. Shaytan was not happy that this old man would go into Jannah. So once he though a very powerful trick and he decided to do something to keep that old man away from Salaah. He comes to the old man in the face of an angle. He praised the old man. He said to him that Allah is very happy with you. And he sent me to you to give you news of Jannah. The old man was happy and asked again if it is true? He (devil) Said yes, and Also also appointed me to tell you that you are a true believer. You made me happy. Your struggle to help people and offering prayer on time was a trial and you succeed in it. So Allah says that now you are free to fulfil my rights. You don’t need to offer prayers. Instead, you should spend more time helping my people. The old man was not happy with this. He remains silent. He thought something and stood up saying, get away from here you bastard Shaytan. You are here to mislead me. It was you who denied fulfilling order of Allah. Allah had never said to his prophets to leave any prayer than how would give me permission to do this.
Shaytan was frightened and run away.
Tell your, kids, that shaytan comes in many faces to us and whispers us to not obey. But we have to say him no to become a good friend of Allah.

For Urdu members.

ہماری آج کی حدیث نماز کی اہمیت کے بارے میں ہے. ہم سب اس کی فرضیت اور اہمیت سے آگاہ ہیں. مگر بارے افسوس کی بات ہے کہ بہت کم لوگ نماز پڑھتے ہیں اور جو پڑھتے ہیں ان کے عمل بے نمازیوں سے مختلف نہیں ہوتے

اللہ کے نبی نے بتایا کے نماز مسلمان کو کافر سے الگ کرتی ہے. اور اگر ہمیں اپنے بچوں کو کفر سے اور کافر سے بچانا ہے تو اس کی لیے نماز کی عادت اور نماز کی اہمیت ان کے دلوں میں ڈالنی ہو گے. تا کہ اللہ کا قرب حاصل کر کے بچے گناہ بھری زندگی سے پاک رہیں. لیکن یاد رکھیں اگر والدین میں سے کوئی نماز نہیں پڑھتا اور بچے کی تربیت میں نماز کی پابندی شامل ہے. تو اس بات کا بہت خدشہ ہے کہ بچہ والدین کو ہی کافر سمجھنے لگے -نماز اختیاری نہیں بلکہ ایک فرض ہے. جس سے چھٹی کسی صورت نہیں. اور اگر آپ نماز کو پیچھے ڈال کر دوسرے اہم کام ختم کرنے میں لگ گئے تو یاد رکھیں اللہ بے نیاز ہے وہ آپ کو بیٹھا کر نہیں کھلاۓ گا. بلکہ اس دنیا کے پیچھے دوڑا دوڑا کر تھکا دے گا.

آج کی کہانی میں بھی یہی پیغام ہے کی نماز جنت کی چابی ہے اس کے بغیر دروازہ نہیں کھلے گا سارے عمل ضائع ہو جائیں گےاور جو نماز پڑھتا ہے شیطان اس پر کبھی قابو نہیں پا سکتا لہذا اس کا سب سے مضبوط وار نماز چھڑوانا ہے

کہانی اور حدیث کا ترجمہ اور تفسیر نیچے دیا جا رہا ہے.بچوں کو وڈیو دیکھیں اور ساتھ ساتھ ان کے سوالوں کا جواب بھی دیں

میں نے بچوں کو سنت سیکھانے کے لیے انفرادی طور پر کچھ مطالعہ کیا ہے اور اپنے بچوں کو سیکھانے کے لیے کچھ چیزیں تیار بھی کر رکھی ہیں اگر کسی کو میری مدد کی ضرورت کو تو مجھے کومنٹ کر سکتے ہیں

Ramdan and Eid of expats. With Eid and Ramdan arts and Crafts for kids
Ramadan And Eid of Expats.

The First Ramadan and Eid as an expat was at the stage of self-pity and made me homesick. But now after 8 years when my kids grow up and we are 5 members at home,

I enjoy blissful Ramadan. with arts and crafts for Eid and Ramadan. But living as an ex-pat is a little hard thing itself when we have zero Muslim community around us.Especially for children its hard to understand the difference between religious rituals. Here the non-Muslims celebrate their rituals with much excitement and community involvement.In this condition, it’s very important for us to make our rituals more attractive and charming with its soul. That’s why. This year The theme of our Ramadan is about a Verse of a Quran which is In Surah Baqra 183.

Because Some non-Muslims think it’s very cruel to live hungry for the whole day. And Muslim children feel pity for them-self. So we will explain and follow these three Conceptions of Fasting...
1. Fast was also Fardh in other religions like Hinduism and Christianity. But they forget their prayers and added new things in their rituals.
2. We can’t leave Fast in any condition. We can delay it if we are Sick or traveling.
3. The purpose of Ramadan is increasing our level of Taqwaa.
In the light of this Verse we will plan our all activities covering two things.

1.Ramadan eid decorations and planners. 2. Ibada activities to get Taqwa

Ramadan/Eid decorations and planners. Ramadan preparations Start from the month of Shawwal when we start to clean home and prayer mats. To follow Sunnah It is the best thing to practice more fasts in the month of Shawwal..

My kids start to countdown the Ramadhan and excited about the happiness of the daily iftar table.

Here I will describe some things we will do in Ramadan.

1.Wishing Crads and Self evaluation cards for nonemuslim fellow.

Alhamdulillah we have made planned to give Ramadan wishes, self-evaluation cards and a pack of some dates to class fellows of elder one who is turning 9yrs this Ramadan. In this activity, he will share a short introduction/Ramadan story in his class. Then he will give wish card to his class fellow with a self-evaluation card in which every student will ask a question (how am I?) to his parents, friends, and people around him. And get good behavior starts and hearts from others.

2.Prayer Corner.

Our first and Welcome Ramadan activity is Making of a prayer corner.

In a less messy room, we choose a corner and decorate it to offer our prayers and Ibadah here.

In this corner, we have prayer mats, Table of Quran and Seerah books, Tasbeeh. I also added some sticky notes Color/pencils and some other activity materials in this corner to do some activities(described down)We made this corner full with fragrance and charming lights or candle. A video of prayer corner

3.Shopping;-

All necessary Grocery and new summer clothes shopping should be done before Ramadan. So we will buy clothes to wear in Jummah prayers and Eid Before Ramadan. 4.Wishing cards. During Ramadan, kids will make some eid wishing or Iftar invitation cards which they could do best. It depends on them whatever they will use to decorate and write on them.

5.Iftar preparations

Every member of the family will volunteer in preparation of after. Of Course, the kids are too young to practice Fast, but they do Iftar. It’s the best time where we could learn to eat Sunnah foods, manners of eating and welcome every food.

6.Eid gift packs

This Ramadhan I’m planning to make eid gift packs. Living in abroad we don’t have other kids surroundings to give these gift packs. But This year we would make these packs for their schoolfellows. Because kids feel a little complex when they can’t take part in school celebrations and the rituals of their friends. So I think our kids should feel proud of their rituals. And doing this will also raise awareness in their friends that they also have their religious rituals. Here is the picture of the gifts I gave them last year. This year I’m planning to give something else to my kids and adding some candies and chocolate bars in the gift packs of other children.

Ibada activities to get Taqwa1.Alhamad Garden.

Every day of Ramadan is a blessed month. So we have this beautiful garden with our name tags. We will add a flower daily to say Alhamdulillah for the blessing of the day.

2.Wall hangers

We prepared wall hangers with the verses like.
1. Allah is watching. AL-BASEER(For Kitchen)
2. Forgive others Al-Ghafoor(kids room)
3. Allah is listening Al-same (prayer corner)
4. Prayer is better than sleep (Bedroom)
5. Ifter and Sehri Supplications (wall of the dining table)
3.Quran memorizing.

My elder one is already doing Hifz. So, this year I planned my self to memorize at least one Surah in this month. And younger kids will also take part in memorizing. For this, I think listening of audio is the best way for kids. I have apps of Quran recitation which they will listen and learn.

Stories About the Ramadhan of Sahaba 4.Daily Ayat e Tadabbur. Daora e Quran is my favorite thing to do in Ramadan. It’s also Sunnah that Prophets Muhammad SAW did Dora e Quran every night of Ramadan with Jibraeel A.S. For kids its better I will choose any Ayat for them and do tadabbur on it.

5.Charity box

Like last year we will have a charity box in which we will add some money to donate kids.

6.A Ramadhan schedule/Planner

This year we have a planner with us in which we have tick option for

Prayer,..A hand made Ramadan countdown and Prayer countdown. Big sticker for Fast and small stickers for daily stickers. Recitation,

Daily some verses age according and Dora-e-Quran for kids a video of9 minuts daily and 3 hrs daily for elders.Good Deeds..For kids we make good deeds tree. Which will get fruits of good deeds in stickers.

Tasbeeh... Ziker is complspry thing to do. We have made these short tasbeehat from beeds of broken tasbeehat. Our one bucket is for Tasbeehat. Second jaar of countdown beeds and second to keep counted beeds.

7.Bonding with Grandparents and other relatives.

Every Ramadan and Eid we all miss our relatives and country rituals and homesick. I miss my parents and my Husband so as. So to make strong bonding and attach kids with our bondings, we will try to make more live calls to get connect with them.

Eid room decorations

Last week of Eid is good to start Eid decorations.

Last year we did it with balloons, stars, Crescents and fresh flowers. Let’s see what we added more.

In’sha Allah. This is My Planner and pre and in Ramadan preparations. Hope everyone will get a blessed Ramadan.

Allahumma ballighnaRamadhana.

Names of the 3 birds mentioned in the Quran.

There are three birds that are mentioned in Quran. 1 Crow in the story of Adam A.S Hoope (HUDHUD) in the story of King SOLOMON and Ababeel in the story of the Elephants. here we are going to see facts of hope (hud hud) with the story of Solomon.

King Solomon and Hud Hud

The project is based on these simple and easy steps like our first story.
1. Storytelling
2. Finding the birds and Animals mentioned in that story.
3. Facts of the mentioned birds HUDHUD(Hoopoe).
4. Crafts of the story
5. Benefits of the HudHud and other birds.
6. Verses of the Quran about the benefits of birds.
7. Lessons and important points of the story.
1. The story of King Sulemon A.S and hud hud(Read the story in Urdu)

The story of King Solomon is very much interesting and attractive as it has many magical lyrics and is divided into many small parts. In this story Ants, Fish, Hud Hud, Crow, and Jins are mentioned.

The story of Prophet Solomon (Sulaiman in Arabic) and Hud-hud (Hoopoe bird) is mentioned in the Quran in Surah Al-Naml (Chapter 27, verses 20-28).

According to the story, Prophet Solomon was a righteous and just king who ruled over a vast kingdom with the help of Allah. One day, he noticed that Hud-hud, one of the birds in his kingdom, was missing. Prophet Solomon asked his courtiers about Hud-hud’s whereabouts, but no one knew where the bird had gone.

Then, Hud-hud returned to Prophet Solomon with some news. The bird had discovered a kingdom ruled by a queen who was worshipped by her people instead of Allah. Prophet Solomon was curious and ordered the bird to lead his army to that kingdom to investigate.

When they arrived, Prophet Solomon saw that the queen and her people were indeed worshipping idols instead of Allah. Prophet Solomon invited the queen to worship Allah instead and warned her that if she did not abandon her false beliefs, her kingdom would be destroyed by Allah.

The queen realized the truth and submitted to Allah. Prophet Solomon then asked Hud-hud why he had not brought the news of this kingdom to him before, to which the bird replied that it had traveled far and wide to bring the news to Prophet Solomon.

Prophet Solomon was pleased with the bird’s loyalty and intelligence and thanked Allah for the guidance. The story of Prophet Solomon and Hud-hud serves as a lesson about the importance of seeking knowledge and guidance from Allah, as well as the importance of remaining steadfast in one’s beliefs and worship of Allah.

2. Bird of the Story HOOPOE (HUDHUD).

Hoopoe or hud hud is the bird on which our project was going ahead.
The bird of this story is HUDHUD which has beautiful feathers like the crown of a king at his head and a curved beak. It is revealed in the Surat al-Namal Verse no 20 that:-

‘Why do I not see the Hud Hud.’

We point out the Verses about the story from the Quran.

3. Facts about Hud Hud
1. The word Hoopoe is their call ‘Hoo-poo’ which they repeat 4/5 times.
2. Hud has a long beak to dig the ground to find insects and to crop trees to make nests.
3. With beautiful and attractive colors they look and
4. Fly like a butterfly.
5. They sing nice songs
6. They have two human habits.1 Male presents the insect to the female to eat as they know the women’s nature.2. Male feed the chicks for some days and later female.
7. They can see deep into the ground, so kings in the old ages used to bring them with them on travels to find underground water.
8. They like bad smells.
9. Hud Hud Doo Migrations.
10. They like to take a sunbath and dust/sandbath.
4. The crafts of the story.

As I mentioned above this story is consists of many short parts and has more things to work on. So we made many crafts for the story. So we decided to make the nest of the hud which is a unique and different nest from all other birds. We tried to make the nest in many ways. Kids were trying to make the same nest as Hud Hud by making the whole in a small log. We got three logs and nails and hammers to drag a hole. All three kids tried for two days but it was a hard thing so they ended up with a paper craft(milk pack)

5. Benefits of Hud Hud.

Like other animals, insects, and birds’ HudHud'(Hoopoe) are also created for the benefit of all humans kinds.

Muslim children Must know that Hud Hud is not a useless bird. It has its importance as a bird. We could learn:-
1. Emotional attachment and love and care with family.
2. Importance of observing every thing.Importance of knowledge and wisdom.
3. Loyalty towards our master.
4. They add beauty to nature.
5. Hard work to make beautiful homes.
6. The bird Hud Hud is a source of information. It is a humble creation of Allah.
6. Verses of the Quran about birds and benefits.

Allah created this nature for mankind so we could get benefits from the birds and other things around us with a little wisdom.

Follow these (verses)Ayats for reference of benefits and facts of animals, birds, and Insects.

- Motivations for thinking and pondering on nature. (AL-Baqara,164)
- Ideas and tricks.
7. Discussion:- Important points of the story.

Keen insight on wrong things happening around us and trying to overcome these wrong things like Hud Hud is a supper skill for kids.
King Suleman was a great king and a noble messenger of Allah. He got all the power Knowledge and wisdom from Allah after this supplication.

You must introduce this bird to your kids. Bring them close to the beauty of nature. Quran and nature is the best source of connecting kids with Allah.

A complete nutritional Sunnah break fast for Muslim Parenting.A motivational Article.
Healthy breakfast Ideas with Sunnah Meal/ ingredients.

Last week we had a school meeting. The agenda was full of tummy breakfast and healthy meal awareness.

There It was a shocking comment from the teachers of nursery classes.
They were telling the ratio of kids coming with a complete breakfast is 2:20 and with a light breakfast is 3/5 out of 20, and the rest of the students are coming without breakfast. And they summed up that sugar and white floor is lowering the hunger and making them weak inside. That’s why children especially girls get weaker and complain about the ache in the joints and bones.
I was surprised. I know many children don’t like to eat in the morning. So many parents seem to be grateful if they are at least taking a cup of milk. So there was a campaign started in the school and the target was sending children in the school with a full tummy breakfast.
Alhamdulillah, my all children have a habit to take a complete and healthy breakfast every morning.so I’m not much worry about them. But I felt Proud of being Muslim that we have Sunnah food in our life when teachers recommended ‘Honey’ instead of Jams and other topping ingredients. Many Mothers are in need a good recommendation and motivation of healthy breakfast for the little ones. That’s why I decided to write an article to share some tips and ideas about a complete nutritional breakfast every morning.

Tip 1.

Breakfast is the first meal of the day. We need more energy and a pleasant mood to begin a worthful day. This is the time when our body and stomach could absorb heavy meals. Make a healthy and rich meal menu for breakfast

Here is a set of breakfast ingredients.

A brown toast topped with honey and butter, half egg and the half cup of milk.

A brown Rusk with cheese or butter and yogurt.

A Bowl wheat porridge with and a spoon of honey and 3dates.

A Brown chapatti bread made in olive oil and a cup of yogurt.

A glass of fresh juices and with the role of brown bread filled with cream and chicken.

Mouselli with milk/yogurt and Banana.

Black chocolate with milk and bread.

Tip 2.

After a long sleep, children don’t want to eat. So give them a break of 1:30 to 2 hrs between awakening and breakfast.

Tip 3.

Motivate them to eat healthy foods in the morning. Mostly girls like to look pretty and glowing and boys want to be more strong and healthy. So encourage them to eat a more and more healthy thing in the morning so that could achieve their target.

Tip 4.

Change the menu often. So that they do not feed up with the same things every morning.

Tip 5.

Sit and do your breakfast with them and show your interest in eating more in the morning.

Tip 6.

At the start, children will not be ready to eat so much in the morning. slowly and steadily they will get used to it. But you live constant and force them to take breakfast. In some days, they will change their behavior.

Tip 7.

Provide a relaxed and calm atmosphere at the time of Breakfast. Don’t show the hurries, otherwise, the children will make the reason to avoid breakfast.
In the end here is a list of Sunnah foods that are rich nutritional.

Dates

Olive/olive oil

Milk

Brown bread

Honey.

Dry fruits.

Meat

Apple Cider.

Pomegranate.

Fig

Watermelon.

Cucumber.

Barley

Water.

Grapes

In holidays when the children stay at home before noon try to add more sunnah foods in their diet.

Note:- The foods that are not good for children are enlisted.

Fast foods

White floor,

Suger.

Brown and fatty Chocolates

Candies,

Tetra pack juices and soft drinks.

Broiler meats and eggs.

Jams and artificial coloring items.

Foods are the fuel of our body. Do not spoil the habits of children. The rest of the life of children depends on what they eat At a young age. So do not compromise with it. Good health promises a productive energetic and strong body.

What is the favorite breakfast of your children? Share your tips and ideas with us.
Here is a motivational video for kids of Fruits mentioned in the Quran with Playdough. I hope your kids will enjoy it.
Here is my video of the making of fruits mentioned in the Quran with play dough. Kids love to play with playdough and make these things.

Which 3 Birds are mentioned in the Quran? Astonishing facts.
Do you know only three Birds mentioned in Quran

Purpose of the Unit study of birds mentioned in the Quran

In this session, our focus and purpose are polishing the creativity of Muslim children and adding some pieces of information about nature with a complete reference to the Quran. So that children take more interest in reading and understanding the Holy Book Quran Kareem and do Tafakurr.

Crow, Hoopoe, and Ababeels are the birds mentioned in the Quran. All these birds are mentioned in different stories and in different ways. But all these birds have some astonishing facts. We did this unit study in a totally different way. Three children were part of this study with the moms. Every activity was hands-on and fieldwork-based. let’s see the reality and facts of the birds one by one.

We will study the bird crow mentioned in the Quran in these ways.
1. Storytelling
2. Bird of this story.
3. Photography.
4. Facts of the Crow.
5. Crafting.
6. Benefits of the birds and crow.
7. Moral lesson and Prayer of forgiveness.
Storytelling

1. Crow is mentioned in the Quran in the story of Adam A.S and his Sons Habeel & Qabeel. We will start with storytelling.

Before starting to tell stories keep in mind
- Answer the unrelative questions of children.
- Use a good Tone of Storytelling.
- Body language helps to express feelings and make good imaginaries
Our first story is about the First Khalifa of Allah SAW (Prophet of Allah SWT )Adam and His Sons. The bird mentioned in our first story is A CROW. This story is revealed in Surat Al-meida in Quran. We read the story of Adam and His son and found out the moral lesson of the story. The lesson of the story of Adam is given in these two pictures.

After reading the story, we had a discussion, about why Adam was sent to this world. What Allah has advised them? And the lesson we learned from the story is that we should obey Allah, not Iblees. W all are bounded by some forbidden and shytan is our enemy. If we follow him, he will mislead us and we will occur sins like the sons of Adam A.S. Some facts from the story of Adam are added to the pictures.

Creativity, Art/Craft for the story

We have this fingerpainted forbidden tree for this purpose. we had many crafts in this story like the forbidden tree of Adam. A.S, First Kabah Made by Adam A.S and other craftworks.

Moral lesson of the story

The story is about two brothers. One brother was loyal and honest and loved his brother, He is obedient to his father, and he submitted to Allah. But the other was misguided by shaitan. He hated and was jealous of his brother. He was disrespectful of his father and not submitted to Allah. Finally following the footsteps of shytan he killed his own brother of His jealousy. Then he was regretful for not knowing what to do with the dead body, instead of being regretful to kill his brother. Allah helped him and a crow was there to teach him how to bury dead bodies.

The bird in the Story

After telling the story a question was asked. Which birds taught Qabeel how to hide the dead body of Habeel into the soil? The Crow Yes it was the crow. The crow was mentioned and we entered into the world of crow. Now we have to find out the facts about the birds.

Photography

We were looking to capture a crow or a nest of crows. Mostly in our area crows could be found hardly. But Luckily, we found a nest of a crew downstairs. That was close to the roof so we used a ladder to capture a close view of that nest. Honestly speaking the photograph is not much pretty, but I’m proud to uncover it as that was made by my little kids. We don’t have any pic of crows not of eggs, but it’s okay as kids are familiar enough with crows.

Facts of Crow.

We searched for the facts of the crows on youtube, google, and different books and social talks. We gathered these interesting facts about crows after watching the videos and also from this story.
1. Crow has 45 species.
2. The lush of a special kind of crow is Halal.
3. Crow makes a rough nest with some grass and tree sticks.
4. It is a very clever and outsmarting Bird so it could solve his problems at the spot.
5. Crows are emotional birds and express their feelings. They don’t leave their Fellows even when they are dead.
6. The crows have a strong memory.
7. The Crows are fearless birds and can steal food from others even from humans.
8. Crows eat everything even the dirt.
These facts unveil the truth of crow. For me, the new thing was that crow is Halal and Muslims could eat it.

Crafts of the story.

It’s time to make the nests of crows. We got three ideas for the nests. Woods and husk nest, molding clay nest, and play dough nest. So as we are going to do work on the three birds mentioned in Quran, we will make them all one by one. Crow nest will be of woods and husk. (For all the pictures visit my Pinterest profile.) Every child participated in this session excitedly. As it was again some fieldwork. They went outside to get woods and husks to make a nest. The Video of making a nest is down.

4 Easiest models for Transportation crafts your kids will love to make
Today my topic is transportation crafts my kids were most excited to make.

Kids are always curious and love to think and ask about things around them. Parenting means to fulfill all needs of children and in homeschooling kids miss school activities but could find more chances to learn and do creative things.

Today work on modern vehicles we use to travel.It’s a huge transportation topic and kids especially boys love to make or buy and play with cars trucks and construction vehicles. And at the same time, they also enjoy making roads, bridges, road slides and much more things. For that, we have made these Two simple transportation crafts. One is of elder one and the second one was made by the second one.They covered all four big modern ways of transportation.

We will discuss 4 modern ways of transportation which are

By Roads

By Trains

By Sea

And by air

Things we had used are

Thermacol board for making ground

Papers to make origami vehicles

Water colors

UHU to the past

As for to travel by road, we use motor bikes, cars, buses trucks to travel fast.Bicycles are also being used to travel a short distance or as a hobby…. In this craft, we had made Road goes in the middle of the model with near by parking.And use any vehicle kids already have or made own with an empty box or thermal board and color it.

Second travel vehicle is Train and for that here is a train line going along with the road with a train. It looks so green area with small hills. Trains normally used to long travels from one city to another.

Third transportation vehicle is shipped to long travels from one country to another and small boats for domestic travels and for fun travel. For that in this transportation crafts here is one origami boat with a colored scene of the sea.

And in the last to travel by air, we had made an origami airplane with a huge airport building and a vast parking.

And as for the Second younger boy, he made it easier. It’s so small and cute with bright colors and full info about transportation.

And this last one is already in our bridges and engineering crafts. I’m adding it here we had discussed it in four ways of travel in transportation crafts.

I love The first transportation crafts because it has a full story inside it. To me it looks like, here is an airport where a plane is waiting for passengers, who are traveling fastly to come here by roads and trains and some others will land soon at the seaport and will pick any other vehicle to go to the airport.Am I right? share your feelings if you also things so, or if your imaginations also made any story with this transportations crafts.If you will like to teach you kids about transportation, which method will you use?my comment box is waiting to listen from you.
