Phyllis, yes, chopping of the heads of gummy bears sounds interesting for kids, no? Batya, what does a fruit head look like? Sounds yummy, tastier than chopping off the head of a gummy bear.

And don't forget the round raisin challahs! Many Ashkenazim don’t eat nuts on Rosh Hashanah because they leave a bitter aftertaste and we don’t want any bitterness in the new year.

Our favorite is the fish heads. I buy them because it totally grosses out my kids and every year we have fun with that (especially if an eyeball pops out. When they were little we would tell them they have to take a little taste to have a good year, but they don't buy that anymore. Good post. The Artscroll Machzor lists a bunch of simanim.

Maybe I'll use it in my head post. I think I'll do that one last, right before Rosh Hashana. Maria, yes, I did the beet leaf watercolor a few weeks ago. I'm now into painting food quickly (and then some day I'll do portraiture in oils again, which takes weeks or months). triLcat, adorable little video! Maybe I’ll use it in my head post.
