Wet Felting Wall Hanging
Introduce your students to the ancient and holistic art of wet felting as they create wall hangings depicting Shabbos and Yom Tov themes. 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.
