Recycle some old T-shirts to make a special present for one of your lucky canine pals — or to donate to an animal shelter. This fun and simple activity lets your children do a mitzvah and learn about two important Jewish values: kindness to animals, T’z'ar Ba'alei Chayim and not wasting, bal taschit.
This Activity Works With These Books:
