Ramadan and Eid books

Assalamu alaykum,

We received books that we ordered for Yusuf from Goodword Books about a month ago, alhamdulillah. We bought him books on Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr and he loves them. As soon as the order arrived, he browsed through the books and chose his favorites. Ramadan and Eid books were among those. He brings them to me twice a day to read it to him and I also find him reading/looking at the pictures independently quite often. I find the books very good at introducing Ramadan and Eid concepts to our children and they are cheap too. The papers of the book are not thin and toddler can handle them well. It's not too crowded with the text. Eid book has more text in it though, but Yusuf still enjoys it. May Allah reward all of our brothers and sisters working for/with Goodword books and all others who are helping us in educating ourselves and our children. Ameen!

These are the books that I am talking about:

InshaAllah you can have a look at the sample pages of the book here:

Puzzles

Assalamu alaykum,

Another activity we have been doing lately is playing with puzzles. Yusuf is getting good at placing puzzles back to their places. We have got different puzzles: wooden, cardboard, thin cards. You can make your own puzzles at home from cardstock or paper.

Yusuf does these puzzles easily:

And these cardboard puzzles come in 4 in a box. They are good quality and great at teaching Yusuf the objects, alhamdulillah. He likes matching things, so we usually end up matching the puzzle pieces to real life objects that we find around the house.


He has a bit of a difficulty doing the puzzle below, he can't quite put the image back together. He ends up finding the right puzzle pieces, he names the animal, but has difficulty putting the blocks in order.


I have bought these cards for cheap, they are so good, even though they are a bit thin.
