Rosh Hashanah Symbols Felt Wall

A Rosh Hashanah Symbols Felt Wall is another super easy hands-on Rosh Hashanah activity that can add a meaningful discussion about the holiday, its symbols and traditions, all while having fun playing! You can leave it out and the kids can return to it throughout Elul to reinforce High Holiday learning.

What You’ll Need

Felt board or large felt piece and thumb tacks
Felt pieces in a variety of colors
Scissors
Glue Gun

Putting It Together

1. Use a felt board or tack up a large piece of felt to the wall.
2. Cut and glue Rosh Hashanah symbols out of felt. We made apples, a honey jar, honey spoon, shofar, and round challah with raisins.
3. Spread out the felt Rosh Hashanah symbols and invite your child to play!!

Finished & Loving It!

All three of my kids love playing with our Rosh Hashanah Symbols Felt Wall! We sang “Dip The Apple” as the kids arranged the felt pieces. Shaboom! has a cute version that you can watch or just listen (and sing!) to.

I first made this Rosh Hashanah Symbols Felt Wall last year (but never got around to posting it then, yep life while pregnant was exhausting!) so it was super easy to just pull it out of its storage container and play away!

The Rosh Hashanah Symbols Felt Wall can also be easily paired with many Rosh Hashanah books. You can read the book first before introducing the felt pieces or afterwards and gesture to the felt symbols as you read. Rosh Hashanah is coming by Tracy Newman, Sammy Spider’s First Rosh Hashanah, Is It Rosh Hashanah Yet?, One, Two, Three Rosh Hashanah would all be fun and engaging book choices for a young audience to teach them about the holiday and supplement that learning with the felt board.
