An Overflowing Rock

After Miriam's well no longer gave water, the Jews came to Moshe Rabbeinu complaining that they did not have what to drink.  Hashem tells Moshe to speak to the rock and water would come forth.  Instead, Moshe hit the rock with his staff, and water began pouring out.  We enjoy acting out scenes from the parsha, and so making the rock that gave forth water was a wonderful prop that we have used several times this week.

Supplies:
  • toilet paper roll
  • empty egg carton
  • a sheet of felt
  • blue streamers (or you can use ribbon, string, or tissue paper)
  • liquid glue
  • a glue gun
  • velcro
  • tape

Begin by covering off one end of the toilet paper roll and then taping mounds from the egg carton all around it to produce a bulky boulder.  Wrap your boulder in a sheet of felt and use a glue gun to glue the seams together.  I was about to take a grey piece of felt, when my daughter asked for a pink rock.  So a pink rock it was.  Trim any extra pieces of felt that are not needed.  You can then use one of the scrap pieces to make a little door with velcro for when the rock does not have water flowing from it.  Cut thin segments of the blue streamers and spill in some drops of liquid glue into the hollow cavity of the rock and use any long thin object (a pencil, back of a spoon, etc) to guide the streamers into place.
