Quick Shavuos Craft For Kids With Adorable Results!
Shavuos starts Saturday night, and with shabbos coming first, now would be the time to whip up some last minute crafts......you know, the kind that aren't too messy and that the kids can do on their own so that the adults can concentrate on all the tasks that need to be accomplished in preparation for the holiday. Ah yes, and a craft that is fun for all ages is certainly in order as well, so I now present to you my tissue paper stand-up Har Sinai, which is a perfect decoration for Shavuot and quick to make. Little ones can certainly crumple up paper and dip it in glue, while older kids can make patterns with their little tissue paper balls, which could be great. Hmmmm, maybe next time?
Okay, time is of the essence, so lets get started!
Sefer Torah Candy For Shavous Or A Bar Mitzvah!
LIttle sefer Torah candy party favors are so very cute and perfect not only for bar mitzvahs but also for Shavuos and Simchas Torah. Yes, it is true I am not a fan of candy so the fact that I made 150 of these for my son's bar mitzvah was a shock to some of my friends, but hey, sometimes you just gotta join the crowd and forget that candy isn't something anyone should eat? While I had hoped that my daughter would volunteer to make 150 chocolate tefillins to put in our little party favor boxes, (she did not take on that task given that she made all the desserts for the bar and had more than enough to do) that idea didn't come to fruition, so these little candy sefer torahs, personalized with my son's hebrew letter logo and date of the celebration, were placed in the bar mitzvah favor boxes together with a few other little treats.
