The families of שָׁלוֹם חֲבֵרִים (Shalom, Chaverim! – Welcome, Friends! for ages 0 – 3 and their grown-ups) wrapped up their exploration of the upcoming Jewish holiday of פֶּסַח (Pesach, Passover).
Children used their senses to experience the foods of פֶּסַח (Pesach, Passover). They cut apples and mixed charoset, kneaded and flattened dough into matzah, and used plastic knives to cut parsley for karpas. Then they got to taste everything! They had the option to smell a fresh horseradish root.
Then we left the room for an afikomen hunt! Children took turns hiding (a picture of) a matzah in a bag in the atrium. They got stickers for finding the afikomen.
We regrouped to practice Mah Nishtana / The Four Questions together (with puppets!) before wishing each other “Have a good Passover!”
