Tzitzis
In this week's parsha we learn about the mitzvah of wearing tzitzis. What better way to teach your children about this special commandment then to make their very own pair.
For this project you will need:
First, cut both sides of the cereal box off. Now attach both sides with a thing strip of cardboard (cut from the scrap of the left over cereal box) with your colourful tape. You can make this as big as necessary so that it fits over your child’s head. Next, using a hole puncher, punch a hole in each of the four corners. Finally, tie four strings to each of the corners. Voilla! Now your children have their very own pair of tzitzis!

Giant Fruit
In this week's parsha, Moshe Rabbeinu sends 12 spies to investigate the land of Israel and see what the Jewish people should expect upon entering the land. The spies come back and tell the Jewish people about the giants they saw and how big the fruit was. Here is a fun way for your kids to experience having their very own giant fruit. We've been having a lot of fun acting out scenes with the giant fruit, playing games with the items and using them as props, and practising the brachos to be said on food.
For this project you will need:
First, ask your child to select some fruit that they'd like to be part of the craft. Then, draw them on the inside of a cardboard box and then cut them out. Children can paint the fruit in whichever fun colours and designs they'd like. Let the paint dry for a couple of hours and then let the fun begin. In addition to fruit, our daughter also requested a bottle of wine, which worked out great because we had a lot of fun using it to make pretend Kiddush.
