Making Mountains in KB

This week we brought the concept of Har Sinai (Mt. Sinai) to life in our classroom through some hands-on activities.  To make our mountain we had a little outdoor painting fun - we brought a large paper to the playground along with brown, green and yellow paint.  After painting the entire paper, we used paper towels to blot the paint for a more textured effect.  When we cut it into a mountain shape, it really looked the part!
Flowers were next - taking squares of tissue paper, we scrunched them with our fingertips to make the flowers and took turns reaching up to stick them on Har Sinai.  For the finishing touches, Morah added a fence around the mountain and a picture of every child to illustrate the idea that everyone was present at the giving of the Torah - even them!  They love pointing out the pictures of themselves and their friends around Har Sinai.

We also made mountains out of clay.

Shabbat Shalom
