Tzedakah
During the month of Elul we focus on Teshuva (returning to Hashem), Tefilla (prayer) and Tzedakah (charity).
Here are a few things we did in connection to Tzedakah:
Firstly, we learned that Tzedakah is not just giving MONEY to people who need it. It's giving clothes, a job, even a kind word. Its helping people in as many ways as we are able.
This is a sweet craft of friends helping friends:
Decorating a Pushkah (Tzedakah Box)- you can use any container with a lid:
Shining pennies with Q-tips and lemon juice- it took a while, and they really needed to shine the coins but the kids eventually saw results:
Counting 100 pennies to make one dollar- this is a Montessori 100's board, you can easily make one with paper/cardboard and markers. It really gives the kids a visual idea of what 100 pennies look like and that 100 pennies make one dollar:
On the 25th day of Elul, Hashem started to create the World. On the 6th day of Creation, Hashem created man. The 6th day falls out on Rosh Hashanah.
Here is a "Day's of Creation Activity Pack" I out together for my kiddo's-
You can download it HERE
You can use it together with the Shabbat Activity Pack which you can find HERE
Hope this is helpful!
~Shabbat Shalom to all~

~~Happy Elul~~
Here is the calendar we use- its a regular classroom calendar but I made Hebrew letters for the Hebrew dates with Shofars for Elul
as well as an Elul Do A Dot coloring page
We also mark down what the moon looks like at the different times of the month- very easy to make, I used sticky foam to make ours
A friend sent us some foam shapes for Rosh Hashanah, so we made a Shofar collage and used the 3 primary colors and ultimately mixed them to make other colors, it came out really cute
Once the color mixing began, we were on a role- heres a super easy yet awesome color mixing activity. You just need a drop of food coloring with water and leave it to your little Einstein to create their own colors!
Just a little snack the munchkins prepared themselves. They were so proud of themselves that they made their own orange juice. Make sure to get sweet juicy oranges. These were so juicy, each orange filled an entire glass with juice.
We have some great activities planned for Elul, stay tuned~

Yes, its been a while, but life gets busy as we all know and I have finally found a few moments to blog-
So lets start of with the fun stuff!

Ages 3+, 2 to 14 players.

Now, this is what we have been up to lately:
We are keeping up with the weekly Parshah using My Parshah Reader and The Little Midrash Says. We practice our Herbrew Reading using the Osios book as well as the Siddur. We have done a few Parshah projects which I have not taken photos yet, but will post when I do-
Since TuBishvat is a few weeks away, we have begun learning about plants and trees. We are using the Nancy Larson Science kit that was sent to us for Review which is just so fabulous. I know she prefers the unit to be studied in the order that she has put it in which makes perfect sense, but the type of homeschool that we do, it just works for us to do the different subjects at certain times-
The kit comes with an entire unit on Botany, including a bag with pine cones, a tree cookie with a looking glass and 3 great books on trees: Peterson First Guide to Trees,Trees to Paper and The Seasons of Arnold's Apple Tree which the kids love. There is also a booklet on Botany as well as review worksheets. It is done in such a simple, well thought out way that it was a pleasure to teach and the kids were so engaged, they just loved it!
Here are a few books and a CD that we will be reading and listening to over the next few weeks:
I know its early, but it works for us right now:) We live in a tropical climate and so we took a walk through the neighborhood the other day looking for a Deciduous tree... boy, if only I had known what a mission that would become! We finally found a peach tree in someones yard and managed to pick up a few colored leaves to make a project with for fall- but the rest of the neighborhood is filled with Evergreens!
This week we will do some bark rubbings and looking at the difference between trees and shrubs. I hope to post some pictures of our adventures~
Oh, and before I forget, here is a fun Shabbat Activity Pack I made for my munchkins- feel free to print it out for yours!
Wishing all a wonderful week,

Some more Chanukah Printables and Ideas to keep Toddlers busy
Here are a few more Chanukah printables I made- I got all these ideas from the Curriculum of the Arts, a fabulous Jewish preschool curriculum geared toward both preschools, Hebrew schools and home schoolers. Click here to buy a copy!
I hope these printables are helpful and fun for your little ones!
Menorah Sequencing- cut out each card and put them in order of the candles, starting from 1-8
OIL handwriting worksheets - another fun idea is to use sidewalk chalk and write the word "oil" really large on the driveway and have the kids balance along each letter
Now I am sure there are many of you out there with a little one (under the age of 2) climbing all over you or the other kids while they are trying to get their work done:) Yes, I have one of those and have come up with a few things to keep him busy and feeling like one of the big kids while they do their activities.
Here are a few favorite toys that keep him stimulated and that buy me a few minutes, as well as books that he absolutely loves to read with me or any of the other kids:
Books: any books with large clear pictures of things that they are familiar with in their little world. Also, touch and feel books are a big hit, or lift the flaps
Toys: You don't even need fancy toys- stacking plastic cups, putting money into the pushkah, putting pompoms into a container, there are so many little activities to do, check out these resources: Tasks Galore and Tot Trays
We did a project today on Yosefs coat- will post the photos when I get a chance. We also did some dreidle sorting which my 3 year old loved. Oh, and check out this link to a post I posted this time last year on what we were doing, as well as this list of fun and creative ideas to do for Chanukah.
Looking forward to hearing who the winners are for the Homeschool blog awards!
Have a fabulous week,

Jewish Preschool Activity Worksheets
While I truly believe that Preschoolers learn the best through play, there are some preschoolers out there who take the more academic route (my Little Einstein:) and actually LOVE doing worksheets- not all the time, but there are so many activity books out there for preschoolers but I couldn't find any Jewish Preschool Activity books so decided to make a few worksheets of my own- which worked out GREAT-and i based them all on the activities from the regular activity books, just used Alef Bet, Jewish concepts and Jewish pictures...
I printed them and put them in a binder and my Little Einstein loves his own little Jewish Activity Book!
So here they are, hope they are helpful to you-
Alef Bet WorkSheets
Space Themed Alef Bet Worksheets (a a few others, custom made for my Little Einstein who loves anything Rockets, Astronauts etc!):
More Advanced Alef Bet Worksheets- Circle the word that begins with:
Brachot worksheets:
