Raising children in love and faith
To continue our fun Rosh Hashanah apple symbol learning, I set up this simple Apple Yarn Wrapping invitation. It took some focus from the kids and even some try, try, try again mindset to figure out how to wrap the curved sides to create a sweet little Rosh Hashanah apple decoration. What You’ll Need Cardboard …
This year we created another super simple Rosh Hashahanh set up with this Apple Picking Sensory Bin, but added a fun extension twist by including apple counting cards to practice those math and counting skills.
