My First Havdalah Set
A heirloom-quality wooden play set that lets little hands hold the whole Havdalah ritual — the candle, the spices, the cup, and the sweet goodbye to Shabbat.
Why it matters
Kiddush sets for toddlers are everywhere. But the tender, sensory ending of Shabbat — the candle, the spice box, the cup — had no place in a child's hands. Until now.
Children rehearse the order of Havdalah — candle, spices, cup — through open-ended, repeatable pretend play.
A braided candle to hold up to the light, a spice tower to "smell," a cup to lift — Havdalah is a sensory ritual, and so is the toy.
Real wood, not plastic. The kind of object a family reaches for every Saturday night for years.
The Ritual, in three small acts
Lift the braided wooden candle with its soft felt flame — the first gesture of Havdalah, safe in little hands.
Open the besamim tower and breathe in the "spices" that carry the sweetness of Shabbat into the new week.
Pour from the little grape-juice bottle, lift the cup, and say goodbye — Shavua tov, a good week.

What's inside the box
Each piece is turned and finished to sit comfortably in a small hand — and to look beautiful enough to leave out on the shelf.
A blue-and-white twisted candle topped with a soft felt flame and its own wooden holder.
A little tower with a lift-off lid and soft felt "spices" tucked inside to sniff and sort.
A turned-wood Havdalah cup and a grape-juice bottle for pretend pouring and blessing.

The details

The set is designed for ages 3+ with rounded edges, chunky pieces, and a non-toxic finish. As with any toy, supervise play with the smallest pieces.
The set mirrors the four elements of a traditional Havdalah — light, spices, wine/grape juice, and the blessing of separation — in a child-friendly, play-based form so kids can rehearse the order of the ceremony.
