Let's learn about the landscape of planet Earth today but not in English but in Urdu. I had created these cute two-way Landforms flashcards for children in English.  I recently decided that I should take some time out to convert some of my educational resources to Urdu. No need to worry my dear non-Urdu-speaking followers as I will keep on publishing amazing stuff in English too but this is a side-by-side initiative to save my country's language.

I like flashcards too but the space is limited in a flashcard and it is a struggle to explain all the important points of a subject in just a teeny weeny flashcard 😀. This doesn't mean that I don't believe in the power of flashcards. They are an excellent way of building vocabulary as a picture is better than a thousand words! Having said that, flashcards limit the quantity of information.  So, I started looking for another interesting topic for reading for the students and children of my dear followers. I didn't have to look far when I saw my 7 yrs old son drawing a meteor  ☄️️ . Unfortunately, he didn't color it. He is more into drawing w...
