Place Mats with Character
Why throw away your child's birthday cards when they can be used each & every day? Utilize them in designing a place mat. Cut out favorite characters, numbers and symbols and glue them to a piece of construction paper. There are many places to have these delightful place mats laminated. If this becomes an annual tradition there will be enough for each member of the family to enjoy a beautiful special Shabbat dinner using place mats with character.
The Kids' Fun Book of Jewish Time
Through colorful, clever paper engineering, the Jewish calendar comes alive for children. This book is interactive, educational and fun. Children and parents can explore it together finding answers to questions such as: How do we count days? When does Shabbat begin and end? What is the connection between a new moon and a new month? Written for children ages 3-6, it is a unique way to introduce children to many aspects of the calendar. Illustrations engage the youngest readers. Older readers learn key concepts and vocabulary in English and Hebrew. The hands-on experience of sliding the sun down to begin Shabbat, turning a wheel to find the new moon, lifting flaps to learn how to count with Hebrew letters and more, helps children gain an understanding of the structure underlying Jewish holidays. Hard cover, published by Jewish Lights (Woodstock, VT).
