(This is last week's update on Tender Seedlings - Baha'i Class for Toddlers)
The story of last week's class was 'The Kindness of 'Abdu'l-Baha'
We first started with the singing of prayers. We sang and watch the animated version video of the prayer by Baha'u'llah 'Blessed is the Spot'. And we also learned to sing a new prayer. It was the prayer 'O God Guide Me' from 'Abdu'l-Baha. And of course I made a video for the children, because at their age, visual aid do help them to memorise quicker.
They loved both prayers and videos and we had requests to watch them over and over again (which we did of course!).
Then we moved on to the story of the day, which was mainly about 'Abdu'l-Baha and how we should try our best to be like him.
They already know who 'Abdu'l-Baha is and of course I started by showing them a picture of 'Abdu'l-Baha.
And after the story we listened and sang the Baha'i song 'Look at me, Follow me' which is all about 'Abdu'l-Baha.
Then we moved on to the crafts, where we traced the handprints of the toddlers on colored papers. We then cut out the handprints and curled the fingers to make a lily flower. And gathered all the little handprints lillies to make a beautiful bouquet of lily flowers for 'Abdu'l-Baha.
And of course the tots had a great time playing and laughing together.
Here are some pictures.
(notice how they still have the flowers in their hands while playing)
