Slippery Business!



Just how did the Jewish people get the oil for the Menorah?
 
 
 
 
 
The children in Gan Bet experienced olive-oil-making for themselves...
 
 
 
 
 
...as they touched, squeezed, and spilled olives and their oil into cups and on the tables...
 



 
Look at the oil that Anna squeezed from her olives!
 
We also experimented with oil and paint and water...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
What a slippery, beautiful mess!
