Tashlich children reminder

On the first day of Rosh Hashanah after the afternoon prayer, we go to a lake, river or sea (preferably a body of water that has fish), and recite the Tashlich prayers, wherein we symbolically cast our sins into the water and leave our old shortcomings behind us, thus starting the new year with a clean slate.
If the first day of Rosh Hashanah falls on Shabbat, Tashlich is done on the second day of Rosh Hashanah. If one is unable to perform this ceremony on Rosh Hashanah, one may do so until the last day of Sukkot (this year, October 4, 2015).

To create fishes take a Styrofoam ball, choose the size of your choice (I chose balls of 5 cm in diameter). Cover the ball with a crochet: use a crochet n2 and cotton yarn thin, white and blue. Create two hemispheres, one white and one blue, enter the Styrofoam ball between the two and sew them together with the blue yarn creating, while sewing, fins and tail.

Use two small button for the eyes. 

On the top of the fish crochet some chain to make a hole to hold the metal ring.

 

per creare i pesci partite da una pallina di polistirolo, scegliate la dimensione che preferite (io ho scelto palline di 5 cm di diametro). Ricoprite la pallina con un lavoro all'uncinetto: usate un uncinetto n2 e del filo di cotone sottile, bianco e blu. Create due semisfere, una bianca ed una blu, inserite la pallina di polistirolo fra le due e cucitele insieme con il filo blu creando, mentre cucite, pinne e coda.
