Sukkah Art. also: from the dinosaur to the turkey, an evolutionary tale


Ok bear with me here. Yes, I did find these decorating ideas on a blog meant for mothers. Yes, these are arts and crafts ideas meant for young children, or perhaps anyone with poor motor skills. BUT- you can't tell me you don't love a good finger painting project. I mean really, don't even try to dispute that this was the best part of kindergarten through grade 4. Actually, come to think of it, why did we ever get rid of finger painting? Escandalo.

Anyway, another reason why these are excellent is because they are kind of like Thanksgiving decorations. Which, even though I grew up in Canada, where Thanksgiving is at the "wrong" time of the year (October), and actually commemorates the giving of thanks as opposed to manslaughter through smallpox, I am still into those hand print turkey decorations. They are so clever! and entertaining! Who would have known that your palm=turkey? Also, did you know that turkeys are direct descendants of dinosaurs? It's true, I saw it on the National Geographic channel. And TV never lies. Remember that children.

Look Ma! No hands
Aaaaaaaaaanyways, these projects look like fun, and they are pretty, plus require almost no motor skills to put them together. So there you have it- easy mitzvah points for us all. Happy holidays!
