Rosh Hashanah Printables for Kids

Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Jewish New Year, is coming up soon, and these printables will help you celebrate with kids or give you a way to teach kids who aren’t observant a little about Jewish traditions.

These Rosh Hashanah activity pages from Jewish Boston include a memory game, maze, drawing and coloring pages.

Moms and Crafters has a collection of high holy days coloring pages that includes Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Simchat Torah. You can grab them on Etsy and use them for all the holidays.

Everyday Jewish Mom has a beautiful coloring page and a tic tac toe board with Jewish symbols, both of which can be printed and used or used digitally.

This fun fish card is a great way to send holiday greetings or just color for fun. There are options without words and ones with script that says Shana Tova or May we be at the head and not the tail. You can get a copy from Pitoti on Etsy.

We’ve already talked a bit about women in STEM for Women’s History Month, but I thought it would be fun to take a look at some female artists, too. Kids can learn about the women, see their art and even make art projects inspired by them. Let’s take a look at some fun resources for learning about female artists.

The Wadsworth Atheneum has a video reading of the book Women Artists A to Z by Melanie LaBarge, which covers women artists and the subjects they painted (example, n is for nature and talks about how Maya Lin uses natural materials and makes works that fit into the environment surrounding them). Or check out this post full of children’s books about female artists from the New York Public Library.

Once you’ve picked a few artists to focus on, or let each child choose an artist to work with, you can search for their art and more biographical information online. You may also be able to find projects inspired by particular artists, or you can develop your own. For example Yayoi Kusama is known for the use of dots in her work, so you could use that as inspiration for a classroom project. Or check out these ideas:

These art projects inspired by women artists from Artsy Craftsy Mom include Kusama, Sonia Delaunay, Helen Frankenthaler and more. The one shown above is inspired by Alma Thomas and can be found on Woo Jr.
Table Life Blog has a collection of resources for studying Mary Cassatt, including books, videos and projects.
Artsy Craftsy Mom has several art study lessons for various artists, male and female. Here are her posts on Georgia O’Keeffe and Frida Kahlo. I love the flower bowl pictured above, which comes from the Crayon Lab.
