Raising children in love and faith
My kindergartner (and the toddler too!) has been loving transfer activities so this simple Pomegranate Seed Count & Transfer was such an easy and fun way to let them practice this skill while learning about another symbol of Rosh Hashanah. And of course practicing counting too! We’ve been working a lot with these tongs because …
This Bee Matching activity is a fun one to practice color identification and color matching as well as discussing the Rosh Hashanah symbol of bees and honey. I was so excited to make these adorable little wooden bees and even more excited to see my kids enjoy matching the bees with the corresponding colored honeycomb. …
My toddler has been especially into beading lately which made this sweet Apple Beading craft all the more enjoyable! It’s a super simple premise and setup and allows for lots of fine motor practice. And ends with a beautiful Rosh Hashanah decoration! The kindergartener and third grader also took part, sometimes working side by side. …

My eight-year-old daughter and I made these Rosh Hashanah Beehive Candleholders and I love them! This DIY only took about 15 minutes to make and cost less than $5! And, it captures a fun and sweet symbol of the New Year holiday. Such a total win! I love seeing these Beehive Candleholders on our High …
With Rosh Hashanah just a little over a month away, we set up our High Holidays 2022/5783 Shelfie and invited the kids to learn, explore, and play with all things High Holidays!!

This week we have been learning about the Torah story of Jacob Blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and it was a wonderful opportunity to create a beautiful Blessing of the Children Handprint Poster with my kids.
