Make Your Own Car and Roadmap
This week's parsha, Maasei, chronicles the Jewish people's 42 journeys from Egypt to the Land of Israel. We decided to use traveling as a theme and explored and discussed the ways of traveling during the Torah era compared with nowadays.
We bought two wooden cars from the $1 dollar craft section at Walmart. Bayla her own car, while we helped Shmuel Abba paint his. After the paint dried the kids put different stickers on their cars to decorate them. Bayla also painted a road on a piece of construction paper to replicate the path the Jewish people took from Egypt to Israel. I wrote the numbers 1 through 42 to symbolize the 42 stops the Jewish people made on their journey. Bayla and Shmuel Abba made chalk roads outside on the driveway and used their cars outside as well. They have been playing with their cars every day so far!
