At Preschool Creations, we're dedicated to making the process of learning meaningful and engaging for young minds. We're excited to introduce our latest product, the "Parsha Drawing Journal," designed to transform the way children connect with the weekly Parsha and nurture their creative and storytelling skills. In this blog post, we'll dive into this innovative educational tool and explore how it's used to inspire and captivate young learners. Discover the Parsha Drawing Journal: Our Parsha Drawing Journal is not just a journal; it's a gateway to an interactive and imaginative journey through the Parsha. Here's how it works and how it can benefit educators, parents, and, most importantly, the children: Weekly Parsha Pages: Each week, as we delve into the Parsha, we provide students with a Parsha page.

Parshas Bereishis - 6 Days of Creation

Download our 6 Days of Creation packet .  It has beautiful  full color art for each day of creation and Adam and Chava puppets. It also includes coloring pages for each day of creation. Parsha Summary We learned that before G-d created the world, there was nothing. We learned about what was created on each of the 6 days of creation. We discovered different ways to make the numbers on our fingers. Some of the children were able to make different finger combinations using both hands. G-d created the world for us so that we can do good deeds/mitzvot.  We learned about Adam and Chava (Eve) living in Gan Eden (The garden of Eden) and about the Eitz Hada'at - Tree of Knowledge and the tricky snake.  Every week we are going to make a picture of what we learned in this week’s parsha, and at the end of each book of the Torah, we will bring it home. Parsha Drawing Journal Every week, we draw a picture of the parsha (I always did it before shabbos party after reviewing the parsha of the week)

You can cut the stick in half with scissors. Have the kids color the popsicle sticks. Line up the sticks and glue each corner with the shorter stick at the top. Lay it to dry and don't touch until it's really dry! The next day, have the kids place 4 rubber bands on the harp to make the harp strings.

Parsha Summary Yaakov lived in Mitzrayim for 17 years and was very happy surrounded by all his children. It was coming time for Yaakov to pass away and he wanted to bless his children. He called in Yosef with his sons, Menashe and Efraim. Menashe was the firstborn but Yaakov switched his hands and put his right hand on Efraim’s head because Yehoshua would come from Efraim and bring the Jews into Eretz Yisroel. We demonstrated this whole scene and learned to identify our right and left hands. We’ve been using our "Efraim hand" for Shema and to make a bracha. The right hand is more special so we use it to make a bracha unless you’re a lefty.  We learned what the b
