Raising children in love and faith
Participating in a Passover seder is a very special part of Passover and I am so thrilled that my kids will be able to use their new DIY Simple Haggadah during our seders this year! Not only is the DIY Simple Haggadah a fabulous learning and review experience in and of itself, it’s also a …
Listening to the shofar being blown during Elul and the High Holidays is so special so I decided to incorporate that into a kid-friendly Blow Paint Shofar craft! The Blow Paint Shofar allows the kids to practice blowing, which is an important skill in itself but also connects to how the shofar works. And any …
We love celebrating the birthday of the world in many ways and boy was this giant sized craft, a Giant Happy Birthday to the World Cake, a super fun way to think about this special Rosh Hashanah holiday and celebration! This Giant Happy Birthday to the World Cake is super simple and allows for lots …
This morning we enjoyed more process art and Rosh Hashanah learning with Simanim Stencil Process Art. This is a great “kitchen sink” (use whatever you have available) craft that lets kids enjoy many paint tools and creativity and learn about simanim. What You’ll Need Putting It Together Finished & Loving It! My kids were so …
We had such a blast creating this Squirt Bottle Bonfire to celebrate Lag Ba’Omer! Fine motor skills, hand muscle development, process art and a cool Lag Ba’Omer decoration afterwards? Yes please!

I wasn’t planning to do another mask craft for Purim this year but then as I brainstormed our mishloach manot a vision of these Marbled Masks came to me. Not only are they gorgeous on a mishloach manot bag (your friends will love the bright festive decoration!), they are also just amazing on their own! …
These Hamantaschen Lego Prints are another super simple Purim craft that combines a familiar (and beloved!) Purim symbol with some simple process art! Kids are exposed to one of the favorite treats of Purim (pair with your favorite book all about hamantaschen, like our favorite The Better Than Best Purim!) while practicing fine motor skills, …
My kids love dreidels and process art so I knew they’d enjoy getting to do this Dreidel Stamping craft! As with all process art, it’s so much about the process and the joy of creating. This Dreidel Stamping allows for lots of creativity in choosing colors and the dreidel’s orientation. And it is a wonderful …
There are so many special parts about Sukkot and of course decorating the sukkah is one of them which is only one of the reasons I’m loving our Resist Art Leaf Decorations! These are so easy to make. They are a two step process, which I rarely do. But they practice some great hand strengthening …
