Create a lasting Rosh Hashanah keepsake by making a family or group apple tree.
On a large piece of paper oriented vertically, trace your child’s arm, hand, and fingers.
Color in the arm “trunk” and finger “branches” with brown paint, markers, or crayons.
Have your child, each member of the family, or friends dip their thumbs or fingers into red, yellow, and green paints to represent different kinds of apples.
Dab away until your tree is full of fruit. You can add family members’ names to the branches to make the tree even more personal, or paint or draw larger apples to represent individual family members.
This is a meaningful project to repeat each year as your tree grows along with your child’s arm!
