From the Kathy Ross book: The Jewish Holiday Craft Book

Here's a fun craft to go along a favorite bible store.

You need:

  • Baby Food Jar
  • Scrap of Blue and Beige Felt
  • Brown and Green Pipe Cleaners
  • Tacky Glue
  • Blue Glue
  • Red and Black Permanent Markers
  • Masking Tape
  • Pompoms
  • Scissors

Instructions:

Clean baby food jar. Remove label. Wrap a pipe cleaner around itself to make a tiny basket about 1" long. Cut a tiny circle from the beige felt to be the head of the baby Moses. Use the markers to draw a face on the felt circle. Glue the head at one end of the basket. Cut a tiny blanket from the blue felt. Glue the blanket below the baby's head over the rest of the inside of the basket.

Squeeze a 1/4" of blue glue over the inside bottom of the jar. Carefully set the baby in the basket inside the jar on the blue glue. Cut six pieces of green pipe cleaner each about 2" long. Stand the pieces around the baby basket to look like bulrushes.

Cover the top and sides of the jar lid with masking tape. Cut a circle of blue felt to cover the cover of jar. Cover the sides and the top of the lid with tacky glue. Glue the blue felt circle to the top and sides of the lid.
