Printable I Spy Gragger
Instructions:
I found this idea on Pinterest, for this weeks Torah Kids Club, but couldn’t find a printable version, seeing as I went to so much effort to make it, I thought I’d share it.
What you need
- 1 x Drink Bottle clean empty with lid
- Rice & Food Colouring (a few drops in a zip lock bag)
- Some or all of the following objects or any others you can think of:
- Megillah – I made these from match sticks and paper. I just glued and rolled coloured match sticks in stripes of coloured paper.
- Coloured letter beads for the main characters in the story I have also included Vashti (A, E, M, V, H)
- A crown
- A jewel
- A heart
- A Triangle
- A mask
- I couldn’t find Star of David, or Jam-Tashen
- Glitter (optional)
- Other jewels
Notes:
I glued the lids shut to make sure little ones don’t get them opened accidentally.
