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!
As we say goodbye to Hanukkah, we welcome the arrival of a new season and the month of Tevet, which is known as the darkest month of the year. We created all kinds of warm and cozy DIYs and activities (all with a Jewish connection) to celebrate all month long. We hope these activities and the glow from all the candles lit during Hanukkah will keep you filled with light, warmth and love all winter long.
These adorable unicorn challahs are the perfect summer-pick-me-up! They’re extra fun for Shabbat or even getting through a long day. The shape also reminds us of the round challah we eat on Rosh Hashanah! The prep is super simple with frozen bread rolls (Shhh! It’s a secret! I’ll never tell). So grab a little, and let’s go make some magical fun!
Baby succulents are especially wonderful to grow in summer with children who love tiny things! We’re growing ours in an adorable “Gina Ktana” (Hebrew for mini garden), complete with a tiny animal friend. This is a wonderfully adaptable project for children and grown-ups alike. So let’s go make a mini garden!
We’re getting ready for a new season and extra sunny days by making favorite summer-time yarn crafts, but with a new twist - like this sun wheel! We made it as a wand to wave high at the sun for the upcoming summer solstice. You’re invited to make one too! We show you all the details in our DIY tutorial!
To welcome the sunniest day of the year, we made summer solstice pom-pom wands. The circle shape of the pom-pom reminds us of the sun, and we selected yarn colors to represent sunny days. You only need a few materials to make your own. So let’s go make a pom-pom wand!
As we get closer to Mother’s Day, (celebrated this year in the United States on May 9), I thought it would be sweet to honor the shared love between a mom and child on a hand-stamped charm and fingerprint necklace. You only need a few supplies (and a little finger), so let’s go make one!
We’re getting ready to spring clean for Passover - an ancient tradition to remove all the chametz (leavened bread) in our homes - each and every crumb! You’re never too young to help! We wanted to share this happy experience with littles by making DIY mini pipe cleaner brooms on a door hanger! You’re invited spring clean and to make a one too!
Passover is coming, and with it, a time for cleaning and renewing. A besom is perfect tool for a spring cleaning. It’s known not only for sweeping, but for also providing your home with clean energy to purify and renew. You only need some pine needles and cotton cording. So let’s go make a handheld besom (broom)!
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!
We are counting our blessing with children. You only need a few supplies and a heart full of gratitude. So let’s make a 100 Blessings Necklace for kids!
I think something that is really beautiful about Judaism, is that everyday, we have an opportunity to pause and be grateful. It’s even written in the Talmud that a person should say 100 blessings every day.
We have lots of fun ideas to celebrate Lag B’Omer, like this cute DIY “no-sew” ant plushie, because you know, ants and picnics go together! Whether you are celebrating the holiday with a picnic, or just want to cuddle with a new friend, we show you everything you need to make your own ant plushie!
The Hebrew word for flowers is Pra-khim (one flower is Perach). We thought it would be festive to make our own DIY flowers for Shabbat.
We think it’s important everyday to remind special people in our lives (family and friends) that we love them. For children, leaving love notes on a pillow, making a pancake or a sandwich in the shape of a heart, We made our friends a very special puffy heart necklace for a special playdate! They’re so simple and happy, come make one too!
