My Nice Jewish Kids

Sunday morning I say to my kids, who are three-and-a-half, "I don't know where we can go today because it's Easter." My daughter Helen says, "No, mommy, it's East-aah." "Oh right," I say, "I forgot. You want to make some East-aah decorations?" (They've been making East-aah decorations ever since our sitter explained what all the colored eggs in the store windows were for.) "Oh, Yes!" Helen says, "Elliot, Let's make some East-aah decorations and hang them on the Christmas tree!"

When I was coloring eggs with my children on Saturday, I wondered if you had done that yet and how it went, then I realized, probably not. My three nice Catholic kids are in love with the Prince of Egypt dvd and one of my daughter's first phrases was "let my people go." As a result, we have had a number of conversations about Passover. Kids are funny.

I should get that DVD! We try to have shabbat dinner - but it's a lot about the candles and challah, especially challah. My kids are going to be really bummed when we go to Passover at Grandma's and there's no challah......at least there will be candles....

Have you seen the shabbat and Passover wooden playsets from Kidkraft? They also have one for Hannukah.

I'll check those out. We have the Sammy Spider shabbat and hannukah books, which are sweet -- and all about candles, but no toys, not yet at least.
