First Fruits Basket

In this week's parsha, we learn that when the people of Israel settle the Land, they are to take the first fruits of their fields, and bring them in baskets to the Kohen, who places them in front of the alter for Hashem.  

Begin by folding one of the pieces of card stock in half and cut slits about one inch wide beginning from the folded side up until an inch from the other side.  On the other piece of card stock, cut one inch strips of paper.  Use the strips to weave in and out of the paper with the slits going over and under each slit, and then tape each edge.  Once the weaving is complete, fold about two inches of each side over carefully taping the four edges.  Use a left over strip to tape a handle onto the basket.   
 
Several weeks ago, as a craft for Parshas Eikev, we made the seven species fruits out of sponges, so now we had a fun basket to keep the fruits in. 

Supplies:
  • scissors
  • scotch tape
  • 2 pieces of card stock paper, 2 different colours

Rosh Hashanah

Wine Bottle Toppers
We have begun learning about Rosh Hashanah, and are making special crafts to adorn the yom tov table.  We got the idea for this project from www.challahcrumbs.com, a website where you can find great ideas, crafts, and fantastic kid-related activities.  We expanded on the apple wine topper idea by also making a pomegranate wine topper.

First take a toilet paper roll and cover it with red construction paper.  Then cut 5 strips of red construction paper approximately 8 inches long.  Tape either side of the red strips to the toilet paper roll making your 3 dimensional apple.  Trace a stem and leaf out of green construction paper, cut it and tape it to the top of the apple.  You can do the same steps for a pomegranate.  For the pomegranate, trace and cut out a crown to tape on top.  Now you have beautiful wine covers to adorn your Rosh Hashanah table!

Supplies:
  • red construction paper
  • pencil
  • scissors
  • tape
  • toilet paper roll
