We’ve reviewed the Passover story, preparing us

We’ve reviewed the Passover story, preparing us for the magid section of the Seder, which brings us to the next part of our Passover learning: the Passover Seder!!! To introduce this topic to my kiddos, I chose an easy and favorite activity, a sensory bin 🙌 I voyaged through my dark and messy pantry to find a box of leftover matzah from last year (yes, it’s a gift that keeps giving!), set out our Passover Seder Nomenclature Cards on the table top and their matching images in the bin, then tossed broken matzah pieces on top. I invited the boys to search, find, match and name the Seder images, which they did with pleasure. And yes, some noshing took place too 😂

The Passover Nomenclature Cards can be found on their own or as part of our Passover Activities Packet for Early Learners, both found in our website shop, link in bio.

The first night of Passover, and our first Seder, is less than a week and a half away!!!!

Miriam’s Timbrel hack coming your way 🙌 We fi

Miriam’s Timbrel hack coming your way 🙌 We finished our Passover story review by discussing how the Israelites finally escaped Egypt, crossing the Red Sea, and dancing in joy and freedom, led by Miriam and her timbrel. And, like almost every year, I wanted to make Miriam’s timbrel so we could enjoy shaking and dancing and feeling that love and joy. In previous years I’ve done the bean filling in the paper plates, with beans popping out through the stapled gaps or having to tape the entire perimeter of the plates. This hack makes it so much easier! Get a plastic bead necklace from Dollar Tree, tape it to the bottom plate, then staple the top plate just a few times, decorate and woo hoo: you have yourself a super easy timbrel or tambourine that can be decorated however you want and won’t have beans falling out everywhere 🙌

Let me know if you give it a try—I’ll be prepping it for 24 students for my class on Sunday!!

Next up in our Passover story review was the 10 plagues! My youngest two created each of the plagues by decorating toilet paper rolls out of odds and ends I had around the house (yes, in my never-ending craft bins 🤪) and I love them so much! We used the 10 plagues section of @thehaggadahcollective Hug-It-Out Haggadah, which is one of the haggadot we use each year for our family Seder. I want the kids to be familiar with this section of the Haggadah so that when we get to this part of the Seder, the kids will be ready and able to fully participate by calling out the names of each plague, pointing to them in the Haggadah, and finding the corresponding toilet paper roll plagues on our Seder table 🙌

Whenever we do plague-related activities we talk about the seriousness and devastation that the plagues represent. Yes, we often make our plague crafts look cutesy, which I know is a trigger for some Jewish educators, but I feel comfortable that my kids can understand the seriousness of this part of the Passover story even when visuals are cute so long as we have a discussion that helps dig a little deeper.

Back from vacation and back to our Passover learni

Back from vacation and back to our Passover learning: today we continued reviewing the Passover story. We previously reviewed how the Passover story starts with the Israelites as slaves in Egypt. Today we continued with reviewing Moses’ involvement in the story. I used our 3 Part Torah Story Cards, with our Burning Bush Torah Story, to help set the scene for the kids. Then we made these adorable snakes to represent Moses’ staff being changed into a snake. The snakes are super easy to make: I cut up colored plastic straws that have been living in my craft bin for ages, then invited the kids to thread the straw “beads” onto pipe cleaners. They glued on a snake face, tongue and googly eyes and ta-da, we have a great fine motor skill activity, a visual that helps remind us of this part of the Passover story, and some new decorations to add to our Seder table 🙌

All our Passover Torah Story cards are available as individual sets, as a Passover Story Set, and as part of our Passover Activities Packet for Early Learners, all available on our website, link in bio! We LOVE Passover books but I find these 3 Part Cards helpful when exploring a targeted story, or when I want the “complete” Torah story still in a kid-friendly format ❤️

Last day and a travel day, but still stopped for our traditional hike at Founders Grove. So many massive fallen trees and their root bases are just insane! Picnicked in the sun at Richardson Grove then made our way home … back to school, work, reality and Passover prep!

Shavua tov ❤️

Got caught in a hail storm just as we started laci

Got caught in a hail storm just as we started lacing up our boots for a morning hike so did a quick pivot and started our day with some tasty treats from Cafe Brio (they were so delicious but I was sad and disappointed when I asked the cashier if they had any challah and she said she didn’t know what that was 😩), then walked off all the sweetness with our last hike in Arcata Community Forest for this trip, taking a new-to-us much less traveled trail. In the afternoon we explored the touch tank in Trinidad, then got our final ice cream of the trip 🍦Hiked down to Trinidad State Beach from the opposite side from our previous visit, where we climbed and looked at tide pools and breathed in our last ocean air of the trip ❤️ There was also this super cool blue goo that’s a type of clay that can be sculpted. Another beach goer said it could even be fired in a kiln and it comes out beautiful with a bunch of different colors from the different minerals. A made a pig, O made a ninja and M made a pinch pot. Adorable and super cool 😍 Shabbat dinner with special new rose wood candles bought in Trinidad. Walked along the Hammond Coastal Trail to watch the gorgeous sunset then took one final dip in the hot tub instead. Sad that a week on a family vacation always passes so quickly!

Hiked down and around Agate Beach this morning, dashing away from high tide 🤪 and carefully avoiding the dead, rotting seal 🤢 Then wandered around the Yurok Village at Sue-Meg in the rain before enjoying some *new flavors* of ice cream, yum 😋 We took a little refuge from the rain by exploring the Arcata Natural History Museum then hiked the Ma-le’l Dunes and scrabbled around the sand. We ended the rainy day in the hot tub 🙌

Zoo Day 🙌 The kids have been waiting all week for our return to the zoo. We started with a walk in Sequoia Park (and somehow found a new trail despite coming here for years and years!), then got to visit the animals. Next a super special treat: my aunt and uncle visited on their drive back to Washington ❤️ Of course we all had to get ice cream together 😉 (they were all out of waffle cones 😩). Even though it started to rain, we also had to make sure we got our big 3 in and visited Trinidad State Beach. Some tide pools (star fish!), cool rocks, and this really gorgeous coastline that makes us so happy ❤️

Early in the Pandemic we seriously looked at moving up here, making our Happy Place our permanent place (although I do have big questions of whether a special-once-a-year happy place would have the same happy if it becomes 24/7). One of our main hesitations was that the local synagogue only has a part time rabbi that visits and does services once a month. We don’t currently attend services every Shabbat … but we like having the option when we want to. And our kids are enrolled in Religious School which is a big part of our Jewish life. We feel like our synagogue connection is an important connection and community.

Do you live further away from a Jewish community? Or without a full-time rabbi (more community or lay led)? Would love to hear if you feel a synagogue or larger Jewish community feels essential for your life as a Jew!

What do I love most about our spring breaks in Hum

What do I love most about our spring breaks in Humboldt (other than returning each year to a beautiful place that feels like home because it’s become our tradition for so many years and, with every breath I take, I breathe in the fresh forest or ocean air and it just feels so refreshing and good)? So much beautiful family time ❤️ Brothers holding hands, daughter brushing my hair, all of us playing games together, laughing in the hot tub, splashing in the waves and counting banana slugs together. No, it’s not always perfect and we still have the bickering and poking and snottiness. And yes, the good can happen at home too. But on vacation there’s just that special set-aside time. No work, no school, no to-do lists. Just us and adventure. And I love it ❤️

More, but different trails in Arcata Community Forest (so wish this was in our backyard!), finally making it all the way down to the creek for the first time 🙌, more delicious ice cream (@the_lighthouse_grill horchata flavor is so creamy and amazing!), and running, climbing and splashing at Moonstone Beach ❤️

Explored Prairie Creek State Park today with a nice hike, lots of moss, elk 🙌, fungi, but only 3 banana slugs! Picnic lunch overlooking the ocean at Sue-meg, then ice cream (of course!) before a sparkling time at Clam Beach ❤️

A day with my perfect 3–hike in the forest, ice cream and ocean 😍 Houda Point is my favorite beach and I’m so happy we were finally able to visit it again (it’s been 3 years since we were last here—last year the road was closed due to falling rocks and I can’t remember why we weren’t able to visit it the other two years). Star fish, splashing in the waves, 12 banana slugs, misty trees and very very happy kids made for such a beautiful day ❤️

Spent today driving to our Happy Place, listening to an audiobook and happy kids chattering away, stopping to walk in the redwoods and yes, made it to the beach for a sunset walk and just a lot of deep breathing in that crisp ocean air and listening to the waves crashing against the shore. I love that we will get to do this every day (except the 5 hour drive, phew!) this week ❤️ Shavua tov ❤️

I like starting our Passover learning with Passove

I like starting our Passover learning with Passover story exploration, setting the foundation for understanding this holiday and the importance of passing the story down from generation to generation ❤️

For today’s craft we started with the beginning of the Passover story—creating the stage of when the Israelites were slaves in Egypt—with some sandy desert process art. I combined some sand and glue, then invited the kiddos to paint this sandy mixture on cardstock. Then they used a popsicle stick to draw in this mixture … not that Israelite slaves had time to do much drawing but because it adds a fun and creative addition to the sand-desert-slave connections. This was a unique and fun process art experience that the kids really got into 🙌 And who knows, maybe it will also find a place as a decoration on our Seder table 😉

From celebrating the joy of being saved represente

From celebrating the joy of being saved represented by Purim to celebrating the joy of our freedom with Passover 😍 Per my 2025 plan, I set up our Passover Shelfie all with activities from previous years, allowing my kiddos to explore and enjoy without any necessary instruction from me.

For me, exploring and learning about Passover involves a lot of teaching and retelling the Passover story, as you’ll see with many of the activities on the shelves. I also love hands-on, experiential learning. And songs! The Passover felt stories is such a favorite of mine!

On these shelves we have:

- Passover book box (gah, do you see what an amazing collection we have from almost 14 years of celebrating with children?!)
- Pyramid block building and peg doll invitation (love our DIY Passover character peg dolls)
- Search, find and match the 10 plagues sensory bin (homemade kinetic sand, Plague cards and plague sticks from last year’s plague bags!)
- Passover felt stories
- Passover memory game
- Plush Passover Seder set
- Passover Seder nomenclature cards
- Passover Symbol ABC Clothespin Match
- Seder plate food garland
- Torah story 3 Part Cards for the Passover stories (Baby Moses, The Burning Bush, Moses Warns Pharaoh, 10 Plagues, Leaving Egypt)
- 10 Plagues posting box
- DIY paper plate timbrels
- Baby Moses craft
- Burning bush art
- Passover 3 Part Cards
- Passover Story Character Puppets
- Wooden Seder Plates
- Our DIY Haggadah
- 4 Questions book @makeitjewish
- @jewishtogether Passover Coloring Book
- @pjlibrary The River Ride booklet

Anything printed out on these shelves can be found in our Passover Activities Packet for Early Learners, or in our Torah Story Cards, all found on our website shop, link in bio 🙌

This year Passover starts the evening of April 12th (also O’s 5th birthday!!) ❤️

So many special Passover memories are held on these shelves! I look forward to making even more this year ❤️

Chag Purim Sameach!!! We made our final mishloach

Chag Purim Sameach!!! We made our final mishloach manot deliveries this morning, then enjoyed a Megillah reading (and commentary) by @myjewishlearningcom this afternoon, followed by a delicious Purim Seudah this evening, complete with yummy new poppy seed dinner recipes (thanks to @jewishfood !) and of course hamantaschen, our own interactive Megillah reading, lots of grogger shaking and some singing and dancing to the @maccabeats and @singitwithsara ❤️❤️❤️

There is a lot of darkness in this world but it felt really good to seize the joy today 🙌 May we all be as brave and courageous as Esther and Mordechai and stand up for what is right (and enjoy some tasty food, celebrations and family too ❤️). Purim Sameach ❤️

Dinner:
Hungarian Poppy Seed and Walnut Noodles ~ @jewishfood
Pletzl (carmelized onion and poppy seed flatbread) ~ @jewishfood

First mishloach manot delivery happened today so we had to test out the goods ourselves 😉 Set out a tasting of this year’s triangle themed goodies: hamantaschen (of course!), triangle black lentil crackers and fruit & nut triangle bars. We got to nosh, read some of our favorite Purim books, and enjoy some sweet family time together ❤️

Check out these adorable triangle tie-dyed mishloach manot bags! The kids made them by spraying water, then placing triangle shaped bleeding tissue paper, then spraying more water and letting them dry. Awesome fine motor skill practice and process art experience 🙌

And thank goodness we started this craft this morning because it was only then that I realized I only had five white bags left 🤦‍♀️ That’s just enough for O’s preschool teacher mishloach manot delivery tomorrow but it gave me time to buy more bags which we will decorate some time before the remaining deliveries on Thursday. Can you tell everything feels last minute, rushed and chaotic nowadays? Can you also tell I’m going with a triangle theme mishloach manot because I couldn’t think of anything else 🤪 The good news is that the triangle lentil crackers are done, as our the hamantaschen. Just waiting for the fruit and nut triangle bars to finish baking and then I can assemble all for the first delivery tomorrow and the rest on Thursday. Phew!

Need a quick and simple Purim sensory invitation?

Need a quick and simple Purim sensory invitation? Grab that shaving cream, some food coloring and some Purim symbols! I added a bowl of water to invite the kiddos to search and wash. My youngest had so much fun he asked if we could leave it out until tomorrow. I said that would be a great science experiment to see what the shaving cream looks like the next day and to explore it all once again ❤️

The symbols we used were plastic jewels and beaded necklaces, as well as the polymer clay hamantaschen and groggers we made years ago. Obviously using these premade symbols made the set up even easier. But if you have some polymer clay that you could use to create your own water-friendly hamantaschen and groggers, I promise you’ll find many fun uses for them in the years to come!!

Did anyone else enjoy a Purim Carnival today? Definitely one of my kids’ favorite events of the year. Costumes, cotton candy, bounce houses, cake walk, prizes and soooo much sugar 🤪

If a community carnival is not on your calendar for Purim this year, but you’d still like to celebrate, during Covid we did our own DIY at-home carnival and it was so much fun: https://withloveima.com/diy-at-home-purim-carnival-2/

Purim starts this Thursday! We have a countdown over here (and I have soooo much to do before the big day, eek!).

I absolutely love small world play and Purim is a

I absolutely love small world play and Purim is a wonderful opportunity for some creative building and imaginary play! I asked the kiddos which material they’d like to use to create Shushan and they chose wooden blocks. I dumped some out on our floor, grabbed one of our DIY small world bases, our DIY Purim peg dolls and a @pjlibrary Purim book to help set the stage. After we read the book Esther Didn’t Dream of Being Queen, I invited them to create their version of Shushan with the blocks. And of course all kinds of creative building adventures ensued—the palace and houses, even the gallows (eek!). They brought in the Purim peg dolls and told the Purim story in their own words and with their beautiful play ❤️

So many developmental practices and skill building took place with this one activity:
✅ Purim story review
✅ fine motor skills
✅ social emotional skills
✅ imaginary play
✅ cause and effect
✅ conflict negotiation and resolution
✅ communication
✅ problem solving
✅ critical thinking
✅ executive functioning

And more!

Dump out some blocks, legos or magnatiles and grab any peg people, paper dolls or puppets that you can pretend to be the Purim characters and enjoy watching your children create and explore a Purim small world ❤️
