Magnificent Mosaics

Somehow we've discovered a creative streak within us!!

The girls love doing art and craft activities and I find that it helps in many ways.

Not only does it help to re-enforce and consolidate concepts in a creative way but art is also a good way to have a break!  It helps to get away from something that may be a struggle and then return to it with a relaxed and refreshed mind.

We have been into mosaics for a while.  Rahmah did a beautiful set of bird mosaics with felt squares some time ago.  Recently we've been observing mosaics and geometry in our surroundings, and the kids always pointed stuff out to me whilst we were on holiday in Tunisia.  I  was delighted to have the opportunity to take them to an art workshop where they got the opportunity to work with real tiles and create their own mosaics.

So here are our masterpieces:




This one is Nur's 

and this one is evidently Rahmah's.

I am collecting materials to make a few more over Ramadhan insha'allah.
