Question

Is it permissible for a kindergarten teacher working in a non-observant children's garden to distribute sweets to the children in honor of Shabbat, knowing that they will not bless?

Answer

It is preferable to distribute toys rather than food. However, she can distribute sweets and tell the children to listen while she herself takes something and blesses it, thereby allowing the children to fulfill their obligation if they eat immediately.
