Traditional Culinary Rituals for Tinies? Threw together some very slap-dash hamantaschen with Juniper (pros of being goy - my grandmother didn't do it any particular way, so no high standards on that front): Nutella and poppyseeds in piecrust dough. I should have used a little less Nutella with the poppyseeds (they got *very* bubbly when baking and a bunch of them fell open, especially the ones folded later in the process when the dough had been re-rolled more times (Juniper was cutting some of the circles, so of course she would mostly put the cup down right in the middle, efficient packing being a post-toddler concept)) but they taste good, and Junie was interested and helped eagerly as appropriate, so, a fine activity all around.

for future reference - they make canned poppyseed filling, and it can sometimes be bought in the kosher foods sections of mainstream supermarkets (at least here in LA), and it's pretty good, and formulated to work well in exactly this application.

if you want to have some mixing to do so that little hands can help stir or something, mixing in some little walnut pieces enhances deliciousness.

the nutella thing sounds pretty good too.
