Seven weeks after their exodus from Egypt, God gave the Torah to the Israelites. Moses ascended Mount Sinai and brought down a set of tablets with the Ten Commandments. Every year on Shavuot, we celebrate this historic moment, and we accept Torah into our hearts all over again. Your kiddos will love exploring the Ten Commandments by making a set of Polymer Clay Tablets, complete with the ten Hebrew letters which signify the order of the commandments. They could make them in a more traditional color such as beige or gray, or… they could choose a fun color to make Shavuot extra colorful and festive!
