Magic Alphabets

Aishah always loves painting. And this time, the painting is combined with learning alphabets! Yeay!

It's been a while since I actually did an activity involving arabic alphabets. Aishah is still confused with some alphabets, so I chose those that she's frequently confused with, to be involved in this activity. Here's what we did:
  1. Get some white papers, preferably thicker ones (100 gsm and above).
  2. Write an alphabet in each paper using a white crayon.
  3. Prepare some watery paint and ask your child to use it to paint on the papers.
  4. The alphabets will 'magically' appear on the papers! As you should know, crayons resist water.
Here's our work:


Sorry it's upside down. You'll have to look really carefully to notice the alphabets. On hindsight, I should have written the alphabets thicker. Notice the 'kaf' on the upper left? You can actually see 'dzal' there too. That's because I used both sides of the paper, and that didn't turn out really nice. So better not do that.

Aishah was too excited to get to paint that evening, she didn't even notice the alphabets at first! I had to point it out to her :P
