In honor of Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year), introducing… our DIY Rosh Hashanah-themed sensory activity!

It’s easy to make, and a kids' favorite! Follow along and learn how to create a fun at-home sensory activity using supplies you likely already have!

There are many beautiful Rosh Hashanah traditions, including one called Tashlich. Tashlich is a Hebrew word that means “to cast.”

Special verses are recited next to a body of water, preferably one that has fish. Doing this symbolically accomplishes the goal of casting our sins into the sea.

Then men and boys shake the corners of their Tallit Katan (Tzitzit garment), which represents a tangible way to shake the sins away.

Tashlich helps us start the new year with a clean heart, a fresh start, and a big smile.

Let us know in the comments how your sensory bin came out. We’d love to hear!

A family favorite for a reason💫.

“We love all the seasonal activities - but Kosher Wonderland most of all!”
— Shevy Bukshpan, a Jewish Children’s Museum member family.

Kosher Wonderland brings kosher learning to life through hands-on play. They can build their own kosher sandwiches, explore which fish are kosher and which ones aren’t, and sort dairy, meat, and pareve foods. Many colorful activities and experiences children can actually see, touch, and enjoy😄!
