To add to our usual Shabbat celebration of candle lighting, Challah and grape juice, we made our own Shabbat grape juice. I brought in green and red grapes and my juice extractor. First we tasted the grapes and compared flavors. Then we made green grape juice and then red juice. Everyone had a taste of both. For our Shabbat art activity, we decorated clear plastic champagne cups with permanent markers and made our own kiddush cups to take home.

Make your own "baby challah" by using three knee highs. Stuff each knee high with pillow stuffing. Next, tie the three knee highs together and braid. When you are finished make your "baby challah" a blankie by using felt. Decorate the felt and make a beautiful challah cover.

Shabbat table runners for your classroom tables. Take some butcher paper & measure the right length for the table or tables. Have the children decorate it with Shabbat pictures, handprints, free-form, etc. Laminate it and use as a Shabbat tablecloth each week.

idea
During our Shabbat week, the kids each get a shoe box to decorate. Usually, painting it first, letting it dry and then adding Shabbat stickers or Shabbat cut outs. We call this their Shabbat box. We fill it with things that we have made the rest of the week like candle sticks, Challah cover, Kiddush cup and the day before we send it home, we make fresh mini challahs with each kid. This is a meaningful, and organized way to take all their Shabbat crafts home. (Hint: the morning you make challah, before doing the real thing, put out play dough to let children practice braiding).

Challah covers. Use white handkerchiefs. Have children place colored tissue on handkerchiefs. Children spray water on handkerchiefs, tissue will bleed onto handkerchiefs. Let them dry. They look great.

Shabbat Placemats: Take construction paper. Have children decorate with any materials you like, but I used Jewish stars, wrapping paper with Jewish themes. Then Write each child's name on their place mat. Mack tack it, and have the children use this as their own personalized placemat when you do Shabbat.
