Wet Felting Flower Bouquet
Introduce young students to the ancient and holistic art of wet felting as they create flower bouquets to adorn their Shabbos and Yom Tov tables. In this wet felting activity, separate wool fibers of different colors are mixed and joined together into a single unified whole to create a stable fabric. Have students relate this process to the concept of achdus, unity, and discuss its importance in creating a stronger community.
