Tu B’shevat Tree with Ladybugs
Your students will enjoy celebrating Tu B’shevat by making this distinctive plant holder, and then planting fruit tree seeds. As your students plant their own tree, they will learn about becoming partners with Hashem in the act of creation, and they will also learn that they themselves are comparable to a tree’s roots, branches and leaves.
