| | Has anyone considered adding another craft to the Jewelry shop option? I'm considering getting aleph bet beads for kids to make a bracelet spelling their name. Since they are learning some Hebrew letters in Synagogue school, why not use their new knowledge? |

| We always do more than one craft in each shop. Sometimes, we suggest that kids might consider donating their second craft for our mission sale. Following our Sunday morning VBS worship service at the end of the week, we invite the congregation into the marketplace. They tour the shops, watch us dance, and peruse the items at the sale table. The proceeds from what we sell benefit our mission project. We have extra music CDs and assorted crafts. Parents like to buy the crafts to share with neighbors, grandparents, cousins, etc.

| | Last year at Galilee by the Sea, we not only did the shell necklaces in the Jewler's shop, but also provided metallic "pipe cleaners" in silver and gold colors. The children pushed pony beads they had found in the sand onto one and then looped it in a circle, twisting the ends together. It made a fun and easy bracelet or anklet. I found that pushing beads onto a pipe cleaner was different enough from stringing them onto the necklaces that the children (and adult helpers) didn't think of it as redundant. Katinka |
