Rosh Hashana Art
• Contact_FullName: Joanna Sasson Morrison
10-10-00Here is a creative and more importantly hands-on activity for the CHILDREN to do! 1. Give the children a big piece of clay. Have them work the clay by kneading, banging, and throwing it (great for developing muscles in there hands necessary for fine motor skills). 2. Have the children roll out the clay until it is flat but not too thin. 3. Have the children work with a partner for this step. Give them Popsicle sticks and have the children take turns tracing (carving) out each others hands 4. Children will then glue a plastic cup onto the center of their clay hands. 5. Gentle fold clay fingers around plastic cup so that it looks as if the hand is holding the cup. 6. Let dry and apply Modge Podge to seal. 7. Place several plastic cups into the center cup for honey as to avoid having to clean.
10-6-00Apple and Honey Plate What you need: large red plastic plate, red plastic cup, brown construction paper cut into rectangles for apple stem, 2 green leaves for each child, picture of a bee for each child. What you do: On the cups have each child cut slits, about 1/3 the way down from the top . Then have them fold them back, so it looks like a flower. On one of the petals, glue a bee. Glue the stem and the leaves to the top of the plate, so it looks like an apple. Glue the cup to the plate.
9-26-00I make Rosh Hashanah L'Shana Tova cards with my pre-k kids using apples as a stamp. Here's how it's done. You need white (or colored) fairly sturdy stock paper (about 8x11 or larger). Fold paper in half. The card is going to be decorated with apple stamps. Cut apples in half and dip them in paint (you don't need alot of paint here. you're going for a stencil effect) Have the children decorate their cards with the apple "stamps." I then record their personal greeting inside the card. ideaMosaic Apples Cut large apples out of paper (white). Then cut either tissue paper, or construction paper, in all 3 colors green, yellow and red. Children glue them inside the apples. This is also good to review colors. Date: 8-24-99
ideaShofars Using large white, light weight, paper plates. Fold plates in half cutting into the shape of a Shofar. Then using a paper hole punch, punch holes around the Shofar. Give children a large piece of yarn, and then can sew a Shofar. These can be colored or painted.
Date: 8-20-99Draw, or have children trace, the outline of a honey jar on a manila folder. The bottom of the jar should be on the fold of the folder, so the jar will have a front and back when "opened". Have children cut out the jar, leaving the fold uncut. When jar is cut, have children open it and pain the inside with honey. Then they close the jar. They can then open and close the "honey jar" repeatedly and listen to the really fun sound it makes as it is opened and closed. The outside of the jar can be decorated before or after the honey is painted inside. When you send them home, make sure to put them in a ziplock bag before putting them in tote bags, as they can be sticky and messy. The kids and parents love opening and closing the jars over and over again.
Date: 7-8-99Apple and Honey Decoupage Plate... I have done this with 2-5 year olds... Find CLEAR or Light Transparent Color Hard Plastic Plates (The kind you could clean in the Dishwasher)... I found some orange ones in a Dollar store. Cut up LOTS AND LOTS of small squares of multicolored Tissue paper or Cellophane. Have Children Decoupage the BOTTOM (back side, not the side you'd eat on) of them WITH LARGE BRUSHES and Modge Podge. When dry, Hot glue a hard CLEAR Plastic drink cup to the center. Use a DUPLICATE cup to put honey into (so you don't have to do any more than WIPE DOWN the plate when finished...) Also... Spray back when done with Clear Acrylic Gloss (remember to do in a well ventilated area...)
