Creating Yosef's Colorful Coat



The children learned in this week's Parashat Vayeshev about Yosef's special relationship with his father Yaakov, and about the special gift his father gave him. Each child in Ganon Aleph made Yosef's multi-colored coat in a very tactile, hands-on way which also tied the parasha in with science and Chanukah. After cutting out Yosef's coat, they colored it with crayons on top of a warming tray. It was interesting to watch the heat turn the solid crayon into liquid. They all "oohed" and "aahed" as they felt the crayons glide across the paper as the wax melted, creating beautiful, colorful designs.
