Last Month's Activity


Pearl's Menorah

1. Pearl took eight small empty spools of thread and one large spool.
Small spools are 7/8" diameter x 1 1/8" height.
Large spools are 1 1/4" diameter x 1 3/4" height.
2. In the garage, Papa found an oblong piece of wood about 1 1/2" x 10 3/4".
Pearl lined up the nine spools in a row. She put the shammash in the middle.
It can also go at the right end.
3. She glued the spools 1/8" apart, using wood glue
4. Pearl liked the natural color of the wood, but Sophie thought she should paint
the spools. (If you follow Sophie's suggestion, use a glossy paint or poster paints.)
Papa and Pearl brushed one coat of varnish on the menorah.
He opened the window to let the fumes out!
