BismiAllah Placemats

Today we made placemats to help the children remember to always begin eating in the Name of Allah, and remember to thank Allah Most High for the food and drink He provides for us, insha'Allah.

Below is a link that will give you instructions on how to make a woven placemat out of construction paper.

Obviously, the children can select any colors they like instead of the ones mentioned on the link.


We printed "Bismillah" in Arabic and "Alhamdulillah" on card stock and let the kids glue these words on their placemats once they have finished the woven pattern.
You can also add reminders about proper manners for eating on the mat.

Its best to have the mats laminated if you actually plan on using them...
