My kids are really into silly jokes and riddles, and keep asking Alexa, our virtual assistant for the new jokes. Some of their favourite jokes that will be cracking them up at any time

Today we were doing some worksheets when Sofea asked me to write letter I for her tracing. When I’ve done and passed the paper to her, she complained that letter look like number 1, and corrected me the right way to write letter I is by having the two flat lines. Yeah right little lady :}
On the other hand, Maryam was reading some science books today, that she keep asking questions that I can’t answer, and thinking that she are getting smarter than me.. oh no !
I’ve just finished reading both of The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo’s Child to my girls, both are such a fantastic story with wonderful illustrations. The Gruffalo is about a smart little mouse that is going to big dark woods and met series of animals that wanted to eat him, and how the little mouse try to frighten them by telling them he’s on his way to meet a Gruffalo, that has been described as terrible monster that scared all the animals away.
The Gruffalo’s Child is a great follow up to the book The Gruffalo. It is about the Gruffalo’s daughter goes in search of the big bad mouse, sneaking out the cave while her dad is sleeping. She goes on a trail into the wood to find the ‘big bad mouse’ and encountered many animals along the way.
My kids enjoyed listening to the story and love the books so much, I would say it is a perfect book to read aloud to the children age 3-5 years old.
Would definitely buy another book from Julia Donaldson !
I was looking for Aisyah this afternoon and found her hiding under the dining table eating in secret my fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. Such a great hiding place huh 😜
Reading aloud to my kids is one of my favourite things to do 🙂 I enjoy reading picture books when they were small, and now I’ve just getting started reading aloud children’s chapter book for them.
We are currently reading Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl few days ago, and I can say it is one of the kids favourite book at the moment. They love the fantastic character of Mr Fox, and the three crooks, Bean, Boggis and Bunce, and also the easy to follow plot lines. This book is about Mr Fox who steals food from the three mean farmers, for his family, and the farmers plan to catch him and how Mr Fox try to escape and save his family.
The kids had a pretend play today, Maryam was acting like Bean cos she’s the tallest among them, Aisyah is Boggis cos she loves chicken and Sofea is Bunce cos she’s the shortest. Hehe
My kids who are 6, 5 and 3 years old love playing board games during their past times. We always play together and enjoy each other’s company, but we sometimes can’t avoid when everybody going all competitive on one another. We always make sure that everyone has an opportunity to win at least sometimes. All of them are very competitive, but the little ones Aisyah and Sofea still don’t know how to handle their disappointment in a positive way when they lose the games, that get them angry and end up with crying .. sigh.. But still, board games are excellent for the kids, they learn some type of strategy and having fun at the same time.
Here are some of the board games that my kids enjoy to play..
