The Jewish holiday Tu B’Shevat (named for the date of the holiday - the 15th of the Hebrew month of Shevat) is the birthday of the trees! We have so many ways to celebrate!
During Sukkot, we read in the Torah that we should take the branches of the beautiful trees...celebrate and be happy! We love the idea of using tree branches and repurposing them into a joyful family craft for Sukkot. Come make some Sukkah greeters with us!
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.
Today is my favorite Shabbat of the year - Shabbat Shira (Shabbat of Song). On this special Shabbat, we honor birds and celebrate their songs. We’re decorating birdhouses for this wonderful day! It’s the perfect little activity for Tu B’Shevat and Shabbat Shira!
Tu B’Shevat is the perfect holiday for children to plant seeds of all shapes and sizes. In Hebrew, the word seed is pronounced Ze-ra, and vegetable seeds planted during the Hebrew month of Shevat (this year in February) should be ready to eat and enjoy by Passover! Come plant some pea seedlings with us!

One special way to make a seed grow is for children to use the warmth of their bodies to help a little seed start its growing journey in a DIY beanie baby necklace. Click here to learn more!
