Last week we the Tel Aviv class talked about different objects we use to celebrate passover. Then we had a vote to see which object the children wanted to create and Elijah's cup won! Today we got started on making our own Elijah's cups by decorating them with modge-podge and tissue paper. The class was excited to be using real glass and they were excited to try mode podge again with a new medium. It was neat to look through the glass and see all the colors of tissue paper. We used much smaller pieces of tissue paper wit smaller brushes which gave each person more control of their design while practicing fine motor skills and control of the brush. Over the next few days we will be adding paint, beads, and wire to create very special cups that we can use at our seders this weekend!

Eli was so proud to use his cup at our family seder on Friday night. Thank you for this beautiful keepsake.
