A co-teacher of mine used this project for Tu B'Shvat. Fill one clear plastic cup with soil and grass seeds. Cut a piece of construction paper to fit around the cup, decorating it to look like a face. Place the paper and the cup of soil into another clear plastic cup, and instruct the children to water the plant every day, to help your "grass man/woman" grow hair. It's really a fun project!

Since Tu B'shevat is the celebration of trees, and being thankful for what trees give us (basically a Jewish Arbor day), we read "The Giving Tree", by Shel Silverstein. We then make a bird feeder by spreading peanut butter on half of a sliced toasted bagel, and then rolling or pressing it into bird seed. We choose a tree and attach the bird feeders to that tree by hanging it by a string. We discuss all the gifts trees give us and why they are so important. We then have tree snacks for tasting, particularly fruits you would find in Israel, dates, olives, oranges, figs, etc.
