Scone With Cranberry Filling

by adminupdated on February 17, 2021February 17, 2021Leave a Comment on Scone With Cranberry Filling

My family absolutely loves tea parties and you can’t have a tea party without a delicious scone just like this Scone With Cranberry Filling! Cranberry scones are one of my family’s favorite tea party recipes. With Purim right around the corner I thought I’d do a little play on a scone hamantaschen for one of …

Today we read and fell in love with The Big Beach Today we read and fell in love with The Big Beach Cleanup by Charlotte Offsay @picturebookrecommendations . Talk about an uplifting and empowering story about tikkun olam and one that highlights the real differences children can make in repairing the world, one of my favorite themes ever ❤️ The book is sweet and so is the supplemental craft we made—straw blowing ocean painting! Super easy to do and the blowing is an amazing OT/speech practice 🙌 Water down some blue and green paint, drop blobs on cardstock or other thicker paper, then let your kiddos use a straw to blow the paint around, creating a beautiful (and trash free!) ocean scene ❤️ #jewish #jewishfamily #jewishkids #jewishchildren #jewishpreschool #jewishkidsbooks #jewishkidlit #processartforkids #craftsforkids #kidart #preschoolart #preschoolartactivity #tikkunolam
Wow, the last month has been FILLED with Jewish ho Wow, the last month has been FILLED with Jewish holidays and while I was filled with a lot of sadness and grief, I was also filled with so much family time, Jewish learning and a lot of Jewish joy ❤️ The next major Jewish holiday is … drumroll … Hanukkah! Hanukkah doesn’t start until December 25th this year so we now have some time for non-holiday exploration. I’m starting with creating activities based on multiple amazing books I’ve received recently that offer a variety of Jewish learning and value exploration. First up is the adorable “I Like Your Chutzpah” by @suzyultman and our very own matching Chutzpah and Other Yiddish Words Matching Sensory Bin 🙌 We read the book cuddled together (my favorite!). It offers simple definitions for a lot of Yiddish words, some that I had not even heard before! After this intro, I invited my preschooler to search through the sensory bin to find the popsicle sticks with images of kids with different expressions or actions, then match them to the correct Yiddish words, as found on the toilet paper rolls. We used the book for reference and once he determined which Yiddish word the image was of, I told him which colored toilet paper roll had that word since he can’t yet read. Teamwork! This activity was a great way to learn and practice the Yiddish words, but also a really wonderful invitation for recognizing and identifying emotions and actions, such an important ability for kids to practice and understand. The action of searching for and posting the popsicle stick images also practices those fine motor skills and getting one’s hands in a sensory bin always gives that great tactile sensory feedback. Yay! Such a sweet and fun book and activity to learn some Yiddish, practice fine motor and matching skills, and recognize the many different types of emotions all around us!! Side note: It’s a (sort of secret?) goal of mine to learn Yiddish and do my part to make sure this special language doesn’t die. Any Yiddish speakers and/or readers or writers out there???? #jewish #yiddish #jewishfamily #jewishkids #jewishchildren #jewishkidsbooks #jewishkidlit #jewishjoy #jewishpreschool #sensoryplay #sensorybin #learningthroughplay
Today we got our flags ready for Simchat Torah! Si Today we got our flags ready for Simchat Torah! Simple set up (my fav) with my sweet Torah heart cuts out (yep I finally learned how to use the cricut slice technique 🙌) to remind us of our love and joy in the Torah. If today and this holiday and the idea of rejoicing feels hard this year, I hear you. The grief sits so heavily, the pages and pages of names of those whose yahrzeit it is is just so incredibly hard to understand and believe because it’s so much and so sad. The idea of joy seems really hard to grasp right now. I found the words Rachel Goldberg-Polin shared in a recent @bring.hersh.home post very moving and powerful. I don’t have any words even close to articulate or meaningful, just that I feel the immense pain and also want my children to feel Jewish pride and joy. But gosh it’s a deep dig for the joy right now ❤️ #simchattorah #jewishfamily #jewishkids #jewishchildren #jewishpreschool #jewishpride
Today we made our last craft in our sweet sukkah, Today we made our last craft in our sweet sukkah, a super simple rainstick to usher in Shemini Atzeret and prayers of rain 🌧️ We got new paint sticks so of course had to use them to decorate our toilet paper rolls filled with toothpicks and grains. Stickers, jewels and so many other materials would also work well for decorations. Kids got to practice fine motor skills and, of course, their shaking skills, enjoying both the creation of the craft and its use 🙌 In addition to the Tefilat Geshem, a prayer for rain, I also printed out the communal Yizkor service by Ematai, which was linked in the @azm4israel resources. One name is too many but to see page after page after page of names … it’s so sickening and just so horrible. May all their names be for a blessing, may their families be comforted in these horrible times of grief, and may we all find the strength, pride, and joy to dance again ❤️ #sukkot #sheminiatzeret #jewish #jewishfamily #jewishlove #jewishpride #bringthemhomenow #jewishkids #sukkah #yizkor #rainstick #craftsforkids #jewishpreschool
Do you have any mixed-color clay blobs hanging out Do you have any mixed-color clay blobs hanging out in your house? Make them into beads and create a mobile—perfect for your sukkah and for decorations for any time of the year ❤️ Clay is harder for kids to manipulate than Playdough so it’s a very good material to work with. It strengthens their hand muscles and as they learn to roll balls and snakes, they learn how to move their hands to manipulate the clay into these shapes. Super cool! We loved making the beads in our sukkah then stringing them the following day to create this colorful, kid-made mobile ❤️ #sukkah #sukkot #jewishfamily #jewishkids #jewishchildren #jewishpreschool #activitiesforkids #kidcrafts #craftsforkids #polymerclay
Sukkot is just like a cozy hug and I love it ❤️ Today we snuggled and read our favorite Sukkot books in the sukkah and the preschooler enjoyed an easy peasy Sukkot sensory bin. Learning, joy and sukkah hugs ❤️ #sukkot #sukkah #jewishfamily #jewishkids #jewishkidsbooks #jewishpreschool #sensoryplay #sensorybin #sensoryplayideas #pjlibrary @pjlibrary @kar_benpublishing
I’ve been thinking about living our values latel I’ve been thinking about living our values lately. And Sukkot is such a perfect opportunity for that. Connection to nature, reflection upon our and our world’s fragility, remembering ancestors and wished-for guests, quality time with family and friends. Today I added a little tikkun olam and worked on my Postcards to Voters. All of it taking place while sheltered by something beautiful and meaningful. Amen to that and to continuing to embrace these values every day ❤️ #vote #getoutthevote #postcardstovoters #sukkot #jewishfamily
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach ❤️ May the can Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach ❤️ May the canopy of peace, love and many blessings surround you this Shabbat and Sukkot ❤️ So very thankful for the beautiful and thoughtful Sukkot Shabbat guide from @onetableshabbat and the lovely Shabbat Sukkot picture from @jewishtogether ❤️ #shabbat #shabbatshalom #sukkot #jewishfamily #jewishkids #familytime
Looking for a simple, fun and always-a-winner afte Looking for a simple, fun and always-a-winner after school Sukkot activity? You probably don’t have to guess too hard— building an edible sukkah is one of my kids’ favorite Sukkot activities and it’s actually a pretty neat (and totally delicious!) way to discuss Sukkot and the rules around the sukkah (very simply, 3 walls, roof made from natural materials, and decorations!) ❤️ Even better: combine this treat with some simple Sukkot learning with our brand new Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret + Simchat Torah Activities Packet for Early Learners!! Over 100 pages with a lot of different activities that help your child learn and explore these holidays while practicing other developmentally appropriate skills. My kids are huge fans and I hope yours will be too! You can purchase the Activities Packet on our website and on Teachers Pay Teachers, links in bio ❤️ Not a fan of dumping a week’s worth of sugar into your kids in one Sukkot treat? We’ve made healthy versions too—think crackers, carrots, celery and hummus, cherry tomatoes for decorations. Also delicious!! #sukkot #jewish #jewishfamily #jewishkids #jewishchildren #jewishpreschool #earlylearning #earlylearners #activitiesforkids #preschoolactivities #sukkah #kidfun #teacherspayteachers #tpt
Chag Sukkot Sameach! We decided to make our sukkah Chag Sukkot Sameach! We decided to make our sukkah larger this year so it will be easier to entertain inside the sukkah. And now it looks like the sukkah swallowed our new deck 😂 But how lovely it is to have such a large, wonderful sukkah, filled with kid-made decorations, beautiful lights, yummy food and FAMILY, in which to celebrate Sukkot ❤️ If you don’t have the time, space or means to create a sukkah outside, try making one inside—sheets and couch cushions for a sukkah fort, lego sukkah building as a family, there are so many options to spend time dwelling together as a family ❤️ May your Sukkot be filled with many blessings and love ❤️ #sukkot #jewish #jewishtradition #jewishholidays #jewishfamily #jewishkids #jewishchildren #jewishpride #jewishpreschool #sukkah #familytime
You know I love me a good handprint craft! Introdu You know I love me a good handprint craft! Introducing some sweet handprint leaves or trees, we couldn’t quite decide, but laminate and add them to a stick to create a lovely Sukkot decoration or do just because for a fun fall craft! Can’t wait to hang these happy little handprints in our sukkah (fingers crossed the sukkah actually gets finished tomorrow because all that made it up today was the frame 🤦‍♀️) ❤️ #sukkot #fallcrafts #jewishfamily #jewishkids #jewishchildren #jewishpreschool #preschoolactivities #craftsforkids

This week I have been craving meditative creative This week I have been craving meditative creative activities with my children, where we can calmly work together as we talk and create. Today we made this 3D shofar art and I absolutely love it. I wanted to make some kind of decoration that will remind us of the shofar and inspire us to feel that call and to wake up. We brought out a simple shofar book and talked about the different kinds of shofrot (years ago we did a shofar exploratory activity where the kids looked closely at our shofar with a magnifying glass, described the shofar and drew their own. Loved this activity, you can find it in our highlights!). Then I invited them to create their own out of foil. They scrunched and bent and sweet shofrot art was made. I glued the shofrot to our wooden canvas with a hot glue gun. Then the kids rolled out air dry clay, which we used to cover the foil. The final touch: jewels! This activity let my children practice wonderful fine motor skills and receive sensory feedback. It allowed us to review and talk about the shofar, what it looks like and its purpose. And it resulted in a beautiful and special kid-made piece of art that I look forward to propping near our kitchen table for break fast and for the High Holidays in the years to come ❤️ G’mar Chatimah Tova ❤️ May you be sealed in the Book of Life and may 5785 bring sweetness, joy, peace and so much love to all ❤️ #highholidays #highholydays #jewish #jewishfamily #jewishkids #jewishchildren #jewishpreschool #jewishpride #shofar
We haven’t yet tried to take our younger two to We haven’t yet tried to take our younger two to Yom Kippur afternoon services so they have not yet heard the story of Jonah and the Whale as it’s traditionally read on the afternoon of Yom Kippur in our synagogue sanctuary. Each year we’ve explored the story at home so that they have an understanding of this tradition and a familiarity with the story. This year I pulled out our Book of Jonah 3 Part Cards, some of our favorite Jonah books, this sweet Jonah coloring page made by the fabulous @jewishtogether , and this amazing blue fluffy slime with a whale and peg doll invitation as a multi-activity set up to continue our exploration of the story, and of course to have some mega (sensory 🙌) meaningful fun ❤️ Many thanks to @lovelyindeed for the awesome fluffy slime recipe—it’s made with glue, borax, shaving cream and blue food coloring. Definitely give it a try! #jewishfamily #jewishkids #jewishchildren #jewishpreschool #jewishholidays #yomkippur #biblestories #bookofjonah #preschoolactivities #sensoryplay #sensoryplayideas #sensoryplaytime #sensoryplaytolearn
Over the next couple days we are diving deeper int Over the next couple days we are diving deeper into exploring and reviewing Yom Kippur in preparation for the holiday starting Friday evening. Today I gathered a few white items and set them up on a tray, inviting my kiddos to create all-white multi-media collages as we discussed the symbolism of white and Yom Kippur. It was a very calming, creative, and even meditative craft that worked really well with our discussion, especially after the continued emotional depths from yesterday (and the last 366 days!). I’m continuing to feel very raw today, after a day spent yesterday where I found myself crying on and off throughout the day and feeling just very … broken. Sending healing love to everyone hurting right now, continued prayers for the return of the hostages, and encouragement for deep thinking and reflection as we continue in the Days of Awe and prepare for Yom Kippur ❤️ #yomkippur #jewishholidays #jewishfamily #jewishkids #jewishchildren #jewishpreschool #preschoolactivities #preschoolart

It’s 103 degrees here today so we absolutely nee It’s 103 degrees here today so we absolutely needed a sweet and cool treat after school. And with Rosh Hashanah starting tomorrow night of course I wanted to put a High Holiday twist on it! Introducing what might be your new favorite Rosh Hashanah treat: Apple Izze Ice Cream Float! I loved trying out @playingcreatingeducating Izze float recipe back in summer and was so excited for this easy opportunity to make it perfect for the holiday with the apple flavored Izze. And, especially with what is happening in Israel today, we need to bring as much sweetness into our hearts, stomachs, lives and the world as we can. May there be peace and sweetness now, in 5785, and beyond ❤️ Shana tova ❤️ #roshhashana #roshhashanah #sweettreats #jewishfamily #jewishkids #jewishchildren #jewishjoy #jewishpride #afterschoolsnack @izzeofficial
I love this simple but meaningful Rosh Hashanah re I love this simple but meaningful Rosh Hashanah reflective fine motor skills activity: Pomegranate Pipe Cleaner Threading ❤️ Color some penne pasta red with acrylic paint, let dry, shape a pomegranate from a pipe cleaner, then invite your child to think about a different mitzvah they can perform in 5785 for every piece of pasta they pick up and thread onto the pipe cleaner. I made a printout with a little prompt that can help them think about the symbolism of pomegranates and what mitzvot they’d like to focus on in the new year. And yes, coloring is also invited!! The printable is available for free on our High Holidays Hub, link in bio ❤️ #roshhashana #roshhashanah #jewishfamily #jewishkids #jewishchildren #jewishholidays #jewishtradition #mitzvot #bekind #jewish #jewishpreschool #preschoolactivities #finemotoractivity
