This engaging project will teach children about the Ten Commandments, which is a huge part of the holiday of Shavuot. Involving children in the story of receiving the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai helps them connect to the lessons, and the craft involves placing themselves in the picture to signify that they, as Jews, were also there during this important moment in our history.
