The loveliest kite for me!

Husband made this kite out of a wooden stick, bamboo strip and plastic from his jacket protective cover.

He flew it with daughter at the park on Saturday and it flew really high!

All praise be to Allah SWT for husband's kite engineering skill!


On a different note, I bought a fascinating toy, Marble Run, at a thrift store for $2 and daughter has been playing with it enthusiastically. We love to watch the marble rolling down the ramp and into the red funnel.

This toy has been listed as one of the best toys for kids, according to the information listed on Dr. Toy's web site.

'The Quadrilla marble run is a truly “open-ended” toy that can help a child assemble structures that will demonstrate some fundamental – but fascinating – principles of construction. A child may not know it, but Quadrilla can help her or him experience the process of design as they build their own marble run, understand cause and effect and see first hand how kinetic energy differs from gravitational energy. Of course, the most important principle the child will experience is the fundamental principle of fun. Each Quadrilla set comes complete with an extensive assortment of beautifully crafted, solid wood rails. Each set also contains a variety of colored wood blocks that serve as connector channels. Together these pieces allow the child to construct either simple structures or complex, multi-tiered structures.'

Allah SWT willing I hope to find more interesting toys at the thrift store soon.
