Since preschoolers understand birthdays through parties and cake, baking a cake for the trees makes the concept tangible. This activity teaches gratitude for nature by treating trees as living things that deserve care and celebration.🌳
For circle time, we read "It's Tu B'Shevat", a story that talks about singing happy birthday to the trees. We discussed how we could celebrate Tu B'Shevat and the children said they wanted to bake a cake for the trees. So, we did just that!🎂
