This is a very simple preschool Islamic Studies lapbook that I made last summer with my daughter. At the time we were also studying the name of Allah, Al-Khaliq, the Creator. We made a poster to display the name at that time. Looking back I think it would be good to make “Al-Khaliq” the centrepiece of the front cover of the lapbook.
Inside the lapbook I made simple shape folds on the following themes:
Allah made trees (tree shape)
Allah made everything (wave shaped). This may seem like an unnecessary category, but I wanted to include the sun, stars, fire, mountains and so on, and needed a simple way to group them. I did not want to make a long list!
Allah made fruit (orange shaped)
Allah made animals (turtle shell shaped)
Allah made insects (woodlouse shaped)
Allah made birds (nest shaped)
Allah made vegetables (onion shaped)
Inside each fold we stuck example pictures. Some of these were cut out from leaflets I had, most of the others were taken from colouring books. To add more colour we stuck cut outs from a flower catalogue in the gaps.
This is a very simple project to do. It practises sorting skills and how to categorise, teaches vocabulary (names of the vegetables etc), and teaches a basic Islamic concept. Not to mention cutting, sticking and colouring skills.
These are the folds I chose. There are so many more you could add; Allah made me/ my family, using photos; Allah made flowers, planets, reptiles…etc. Much of the learning for this project takes place as your child chooses what categories to include, so be sure to include the child in the planning and design!
