Off in the Russian books corner, in a sweet little cafe setting, young kids found one place to enjoy themselves at Jerusalem's recent International Book Fair.
Some were doing craft activities with a mom or dad.
Some were dressed up in props, e.g. babooshkas, I guess in order to do some role playing.
But the religious kids were glued to the screen, where I think a Russian fairytale was being shown.
It was their one chance, because strict Orthodox Jewish homes have no television.

a wonderful post, great for the kids.
ReplyDeleteA Russian cafe for kids. How cool!
ReplyDeleteDina, I think you might enjoy what I posted today. :-)
I find it so interesting to know that in Israel it's compulsory to use solar energy for water heating Dina, it's not compulsory here but so many people do it just because it makes so much sense and it saves money.
ReplyDeleteWow! Books and coffee. Now that's a combination that could keep me busy for hours... anyplace.
ReplyDeleteLike Virgia, I'm intrigued with Russian in Israel. I also learned about the no tv rule :o
ReplyDeleteBtw, those chairs would be great in wedding ,too

Like your choice for the theme day.
ReplyDeleteMy nieces and I will probably end up in that corner.
ReplyDeleteThank God we still have books...... and book fairs...........and children who want to read them.....
ReplyDeleteA kiddy cafe with books... Heaven.
ReplyDeleteIt is so good that many children visit book fair. And Russian corner sounds like I could stay for a book and cup of tea too.
ReplyDeleteFriends, I hate to disappoint you, but when I said "a sweet little cafe SETTING," I didn't mean it was a real cafe with coffee. It was just a pretend cafe at the week-long International Book Fair.
