Shabbat Candlesticks in Judaics with Miss. Samantha

Last week we made Shabbat Candlesticks. The ingredients that we used were very unusual.  I had the children try to figure out what we were making... Some thought Challah while others thought cookies it was funny to watch all the children try to figure it out. The ingredients include 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of salt, 1 and 1/2 cups of flour, one tablespoon of vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch... Now do you see why they thought we were making some sort of food? Measure out all the ingredients and let your children pour them into a large mixing bowl with their hands. Then divide the dough into manageable sizes for your children to work with. Help your child make their dough into a ball, star, heart or any other shape. Allow the dough to dry overnight and then have fun decorating them... Hope you enjoy getting messy!
