Do you pin? Do you pin about Jewish education or crafts? I've set up a collaborative pin board for Jewish education, crafts and the like. If you are interested in joining, leave a comment here or on the facebook page or on pinterest. I have asked that people only pin things for which they have permission. This means either your own content, content b ...
Aren't these beautiful? And simple to make. These were made by Malka Dubrawsky with scraps from her somewhat new line of fabric, "A Stitch in Color" which is based on her hand dyed fabric- I recommend you take a look at the fabrics they are based on as they are quite beautiful. What I like about the idea is that 1. They look great 2. They are ...
A very simple sukkah hanging project. 1. Cut strips of paper, plastic the same width and length. Rectangular shapes. 2. Punch holes on either side. 3. Put brass fasteners inside the hole and open the brass fasteners. 4. Sort of twirl the papers around so they create a sphere. 3. Attach whatever you'd like as a a leaf and as a hanger and you are ...
One of our summer projects has been learning how to sew. That is, my 5yo wanted to learn how to sew "for real." At first I thought we would make some doll clothing out of socks but we decided to do furniture. First I suggested a simple couch but my daughter wanted to make "a couch you can sleep on." I wanted to use our stock of socks so we ended up maki ...
I never posted these but we had fun with them. Two crocheted flowers to match dresses (we like adding ribbon): This one has a button- Plus my favorite a simple clip for a boy (could be for a girl too but in this case it was made for a boy.) If you are familiar with the custom of chalaka/upshern, you may know that growing a little boy's hair un ...
This week is the first week of summer for us and so we sat down and came up with what we wanted to do. Most of the things on the list were my daughter's idea, although I wrote them down (she decorated the list :) .) We have twenty two things on the list so far- Chilazon Catch snails bring home then let them go recycle bottles sew something (I ...
I recently mentioned the Accordion books we made. In the post I mention templates but I didn't give the links. Here are the links! These are set up for A4 paper and I have them for English, Hebrew and German. Basically you fold them in half for two stories. One side only has two panels for a story because you are meant to glue the other two (as labeled) ...
I've mentioned our round robin art class where my 5 year old and a few of her friends meet up once a week to do art projects. We've done aprons and hair things like these and the other moms have done pencil holder, modge podged plate, fimo barrettes with draidels and menorahs, tzedaka box, puppets, "stain glass" and bakers dough projects. Our last effor ...
I stumbled across this the other day: This is a Building Block Calendar from The Enlivened Office. I thought this would be a fun idea for an Omer calendar. One could create ones own number blocks with stencils and such, use different color legos in groups of seven or if you are really ambitious, build a lego robot. I saw a sort of escalator type ...
