Paper Lantern

Learning objective: Reciting Qur'an brightens our homes.

Looking at the lantern reminds us to recite the Quran, so that our house can shine brightly for the angels to see in the heavens. Inshallah it will make them feel like coming down to visit us.

We put a battery tea light underneath for added excitement :)

Ankaboot/Spider

Learning Objective:
- Making children aware that there are over 100 chapters in the Quran with different names.
- Sura Ankaboot (29) takes its name from the spider's web mentioned in the surah.
- Learn about what Allah tells us about the spider in the Qur'an.

Spider Facts:
Spiders have 8 legs and most have 8 eyes as well!
They spin webs using a sticky material from their body called silk.
The web traps insects for the spider to eat. 

Allah tells us in the Qur’an
- Allah talks about the spider's web in Surah Ankaboot. The spider puts in a lot of effort to weave this beautiful web but it is blown away so easily.
- A spider built a web over the cave that the Prophet was hiding in and it helped to keep the Prophet safe

Activity: Hand print spider and web
