New consonants

Just before the weekend we found some more alphabets joining their buddies on the fridge door. this time it was the letters
ر – r
ل – l
ت – t (with the soft t sound )
The few words Mahnoor suggested were – “r” rickshaw and “l” laddu! Her fascination for laddus come from the king-sized laddus that were the highlight of her bismillah ceremony. with laddus THAT size, who would ever forget them!? and those who know her know of her fascination with rickshaw rides I think I did a darned good job with the freehand rickshaw sketch too.. it did resemble the real thing

The day after Mahnoor was introduced to the new letters we made a personalised coloring book for her. How? Very simple! folded a bunch of A4 printer sheets in half and stapled them together, added a nice colored sheet as cover and hastily sketched some pictures with their alphabets.

The coloring activity kept her busy through the entire afternoon and by the end she was able to read more words like
تارا tara
راجا raja
بال baal
جاتا jata
