Science & Craft Our kids are growing up in a new age, in a kind of reality we only dreamt about when we were young or speculated about through watching movies like Back to the Future. They have access to knowledge at their fingertips, manned drones, Virtual Reality partners, virtual voice assistants and humanoids taking …
9 – 12 years I do a lot of research about different populations and one of the more interesting projects I’ve worked on recently was on Muslim Kids around the world. The world is changing and the new generation of kids are very different from the kids of the previous generation. This seems like an …
Arabic with Osratouna 2 – 3 Years Muslim kids often struggle to learn Arabic if it is not their first language. The older they get, the harder a new language is to learn.

9 – 12 years Assalaamu alaikum parents! Watching this show made me remember my days of being a girl scout. Apart from the ugly blue uniforms, it was a memorable experience.
