Hanukkah is coming, which means its time for Hanukkah cupcake wrappers. I have just added a new package to the shop to order all three Hanukkah digital cupcake wrappers as one downloadable package in the shop.

As you know we have an active Pinterest presence where we pin our own content as well as content that we like. We also have several exciting collaborative Pinterest boards like the Jewish Informal Education and Crafts board and the Jewish Art board. I thought I would share our top five pinned content this month. Unsurprisingly the top five were all Hanu ...
For years I have really wanted to make dreidel crayons. So imagine how excited I was to find an old silicon dreidel mold at the local Emunah "white elephant" sale. It was a shekel or so. We also snagged a boat silicon molds and I told my kids that we were going to make crayons and such out of them. Only we took our time about it. Then, when we wer ...
This was a great project and I loved making the Jonah magnet project, although we did not quite do it the way I had envisioned it. Maybe another time. Jonah Magnet Project Basically this is a moveable Jonah in a moveable origami boat and a little paper map or drawing of water and something that would represent the city of Nineveh. The boat has a metal ...

The half apple was made by first wrapping white fimo in green fimo. We then made sure that the combined fimo was shape ...

Yet another very simple Torah project. Simple Popsicle stick Torahs. This idea was made according to the direct specifications of my three year old. You may choose to be more elaborate and more creative in your crafting. We have other Torah crafts that might interest you. You can make pastry dough Torahs, and even a Har Sinai project. Do you ...
We made these Torah cookies for Simchat Torah but they are equally good for Shavuot which celebrates Matan Torah, receiving the Torah. They could also be an easy addition to the traditional first grade "mesibat chumash", or the party that acknowledged that the students have started learning the book of Genesis (Bereshit). The cookies have a little ci ...
