My daughter has been mentioning that her school, which is not in walking distance, is having learning at ten at night for students at the school for Shavuot, including for the first graders. She wanted to learn Torah too so I told her she could use the two "Every Picture Tells a Story, Volume One: Bereishis" and "Every Picture Tells a Story, Volume Two: ...
ChallahCrumbs is trying to raise funds through Kickstarter to create a years worth of Parshat Hashavua (weekly Torah portion) parsha sheets. Whats unique about the coloring pages is that they would like: "...to create Parsha sheets that reflect our values -- that incorporate the role both women and men have in the Torah, that are vibrant and exciting ...
I never did post these pictures but we did some salt play for Parshat Vaaera. Letter tracing in salt (in a broken lunch container). Also used to play with toy animals. Gluing salt to paper. We actually colored this with a dropper and food coloring but the child making the project was more interested in seeing what would happen if he scrunched ...
This week's parsha tie ins were a big hit with my 2.5 year old and I thought I'd share. The picture is of his favorite one, which was sorting lentils. I gave him a spice container, funnel, and three types of lentils and let him layer them however he wanted. He was super excited about it and said, "this is a pretty project, Ima!" He could have ...

There’s so much to talk about as you live your life: brachot as you eat and when there is lightning, chesed as you make a meal for ...

As part of the Mitzvot Unplugged series, we are happy to welcome Danit from A Jewish Homeschool Blog. Danit dealt with the question of what was a successful way to teach a Jewish concept/value. She is dealing with Hachnasat Orchim (or Hachnosos Orchim.) "Hachnosos Orchim- Welcoming Guests" My kids love learning about the weekly Parshah. We all s ...
Noach seems to get alot of food play on this blog. Here's a picture reminder: These were sugar cubes. We've lately made chocolates using these same molds. Thought I'd pass along Themed Thinking's take on rainbow cupcakes. So simple and pretty. Noach is rather popular as a decorative element for kids. I always wondered about that as the story se ...
