Download  our Shavuos puppets to help you bring Shavuos and Megillas Rus to life in a captivating, visual way. Click here  for our Shavuos DIY puppets/coloring pages. Scroll down to see a list of Shavuot books for kids. Story of Shavuot We learned all about Shavuos. Starting off with Hashem looking for a mountain to give the Torah on. Hashem chose Mt. Sinai because she didn’t say that she’s the best and the prettiest and the biggest. She was humble and we can learn from her.  Then we learned how Hashem was looking for a nation to give the Torah to. Each nation wanted to know what was in the Torah and then said that they can’t follow it. When Hashem came to the Jewish people, we said na'aseh v'nishma, we want the Torah and we will keep it, now please tell us what is written inside. The angels complained that the Torah should stay in heaven, but Hashem said that they are not people and cannot keep the mitzvos. Hashem wanted a guarantor that the Torah will be kept.

Decorate your own Matzah / Afikoman Bag

Decorate your own Matzah/Afikoman bag The kids will love having their own Matzah/Afikoman bag to use during the Passover Seder and throughout Passover. These bags are easy to decorate and look pretty. They are also practical as the zipper will keep the Matzah crumbs from falling out! Practical is always a plus. It's also very easy to clean. Materials needed:  - Clear plastic zip bags (these are called makeup bags or pencil cases)  - puff paint  - smocks (puff paint is NOT washable!) I gave each child a bag and had them decorate it however they liked. I wrote the word Matzah in Hebrew on an index card and they were able to write it on their bag. They can draw Matzos and a kiddush cup or whatever they'd like. Please ensure their sleeves are pulled up and they're wearing smocks that protect all their clothing. Puff paint is NOT washable! Careful adult supervision is very important for this activity. Amazon affiliate links

Tu B'shevat coloring pages, puppets and bulletin board decor and ideas

Image
    Tu B'shevat, also known as the "New Year of the Trees," is a Jewish holiday that falls on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat. It is a time to celebrate and give thanks for the abundance of fruits and nuts that come from trees. Teaching little kids about Tu B'shevat can be a fun and interactive way to introduce them to Jewish traditions and the importance of environmental stewardship. One way to do this is by creating a Tu B'shevat-themed coloring page or puppet activity. Our  Tu B'shevat coloring pages  feature pictures of the shivat haminim - the 7 species of Israel, such as grapes, figs, pomegranates, and dates.  In addition to coloring pages, we also offer  Tu B'shevat puppets . These puppets can be used to act out stories or songs about the holiday, or to learn the significance of each of the 7 types of foods that Israel is blessed with. These puppets can also be used to help children learn more about the different fruits  that are eaten on
