We’re getting ready for Valentine’s Day and Shabbat by making love bug challah rolls. These cuties are extra simple to make too by using frozen bread dough rolls, and their adorable shape comes from baking them in a muffin tin! You’re invited to make them too with your own little love bugs!
We’re getting ready for Valentine’s Day by making mini bundt cakes topped with edible flowers. These little cakes are so so pretty, and perfect for celebrating a day of love, especially because they’re pink or “varod” in Hebrew! Come bake some with us!
Celebrate the season and welcome the soft rain showers of early spring with a beautiful piece of art made with rain and bleeding tissue paper. You only need a few materials - and the best part - if you’d like, your kiddo can even catch rain drops in a bucket to use in their creation! So let’s go make some rain art!
Celebrate Purim with gluten-free orange Hamantaschen - a sweetly delicate orange flavored short-bread cookie with a delicious orange filling. It tastes like a true burst of sunshine and happiness - right from Florida, the Sunshine State.
With so much love in the air this month, we wanted to celebrate the love of family and friends this Shabbat with heart-shaped challah-pops! Little cakes on a stick are just so cute, and they’re so easy too! So let’s go make some Challah Heart-Pops!
“No Bake” Hamantaschen are the star of our Purim themed lunch! Since they’re as easy to make as a peanut butter sandwich, we thought it would be fun and festive to pack them in a lunchbox. We included a royal jewelled fruit kabob and Mordechai Munchies! The results were adorable and delicious!
Purim’s almost here, and that means making yummy Hamantaschen - sweet triangle shaped pastries stuffed with wonderful fillings! We wanted to explore other ways to make Hamantaschen - like a puffy Hamantaschen necklace! They are sure to get you and your littles in the joyful spirit of Purim. You only need a few supplies. So let’s go make one!
One way to celebrate Purim is by wearing costumes! Anything goes when it comes to dressing up! You can wear any costume you’d like - or dress as a character from the Purim story. This year, we’re having a Purim costume dress-up party and our guests are DIY clothespin dolls!
Did you know that sending friends baskets of sweets is a tradition for the Jewish holiday Purim? They’re filled with fruit and cookies - like Hamantaschen - the sweet triangular pastry that we eat on Purim! We also like to fill the baskets with special DIY Purim-themed surprises - especially for families with littles!
It’s the Jewish holiday Purim (the 14th of the Hebrew month Adar)! We can’t wait to dress-up, bake some yummy Hamantaschen and make some joyful noise with groggers! Discover so many ways to celebrate with your family!
Something I love about their tradition is the recipe was found on the very last page of her daughter’s most-loved Jewish children’s book, The Better-Than-Best Purim, by Naomi Howland.
In Hebrew we say Mishenichnas Adar marbim b'simcha which translates to: As soon as the Hebrew month of Adar starts we should increase in joy.
One of the mitzvot (commandments) of Purim is to have a feast with family and friends! When celebrating with small friends, I love making “No Bake” Hamantaschen
From creating joyful noise to playing carnival games to eating sweets, there are so many fun ways to celebrate Purim. When I was a young, what I loved most about the holiday was dressing up as Queen Esther.
