[HANASHIR:4429] Re: Tot Shabbat Siddur

[goldenberg <goldnbrg...>]

Have  you thought about making a "big book" type siddur or machzor
(depending on when you would do this) so that there would be something to
follow but no rustling of pages.  I remember Treasure Cohen (judah's mom?)
did this successfully year after year at caje and it gave the little ones a
focus to their service and made the service leader not feel like they were
doing a concert.  You can get blank big books at teacher supply stores or
even use a flip chart with an easle.  This might solve your problem.  (put a
large note at the top of a page when there is singing so that the kids can
anticipate the song.)
