idea for weekend activity

i've make this activity yesterday...as im not a working mom...i can do any activity at anytime or day...but this particular activity can be done for those working mom!..

Go with the map!

ok...first you need to have 

• paper
• pancil or pen
• ideas

ask your child to draw a map of your neighborhood...place of where he familiar with.... if you live in a flat...ask the kids to draw the way to the lift...then to the park near by... or any of his fav place with in the walking distance ( if you have small kids)...or by car if your child a bit bigger.... 

ask them to draw the detail things around the route...the trees, shops, stalls, carpark...what ever that he can remember...this is very good brain exercise to sharpen his visual memory. colour it in if your child like to colour things esp the girls! 

i ask haris and aisyah to draw the way to the park... his own way...where should we turn, what can we see along the way, what should we pass and what should we do.

the kids was soo excited...we manage to go to the park using haris map ( i really rely on his map) and his directions...''haris, where should we turn first?'' ''now, should we see this banana trees a long the way?'' '' should we go straight or turn left?''..and we do some park cleaning ( put the rubbish away) before we play... we stop by at all the things he put in the map...and me sing the marching song!

this activity can help boosting your child self esteem...they feel confidence and feel useful in helping others...

ps; no picture..which is very sad...i really need to have my phone back..insyaAllah...wont be long..Allah always have his plan right!

have a go mom..it's fun!
