Using materials you find around your house, this tzedakah box is a great way to start a conversation about giving to others.

I make no secret of the fact that I’m always a little fearful of the challot that my pre-school kids bring home. You can never be sure what is on those cute little fingers as they’re making their “special” challah. (That is not to say that I don’t trust preschool teachers. I have tremendous faith in them, I just remain mildly suspicious of the little people!) Yet, each week we make a HUGE deal of all projects that are brought to our Shabbat table. 

These mini-Challah boards showcase each child’s challot. It’s just a great way to make your kid feel special.
 

This craft should be a staple at kids' birthday parties or in your early childhood classroom. It is easy, cheap and can be tailored to your crowd. You can make it super simple or a little more complex. The sky is the limit here.
