| Genesis/Breishit 45:19 | Take wagons from Egypt for your children and wives. Bring your father, and return. | וְאַתָּה צֻוֵּיתָה זֹאת עֲשׂוּ קְחוּ־לָכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם עֲגָלוֹת לְטַפְּכֶם וְלִנְשֵׁיכֶם וּנְשָׂאתֶם אֶת־אֲבִיכֶם וּבָאתֶם׃ |
Ingredients as Shown:
- 4 Graham Cracker Sheets
- Nut or seed butter, OR powdered sugar (sugar glue will lead to a more stable craft, but nut butter is shown)
- 1 large banana
Tools:
- Knife (need not be sharp)
Instructions:
- Cut banana in half crosswise. Place roughly parallel, and place a graham cracker sheet so that you are sure both sides of both banana halves reach to each side of the graham cracker. Bananas are curved, so don’t worry if they reach different points on the sides.
2. Cut the bananas so that they form wheels.
3. Remove graham cracker sheet from bananas, place on work surface. Cut portions of banana that were cut off, place on graham cracker to make seating for wagon.
4. If using sugar glue, put powdered sugar in a small bowl. Add water, a drop or two at a time, adding the minimum needed to make a thick paste.
5. Take one of the graham cracker sheets, snap in half crosswise along the markings. Spread nut butter or sugar glue along three sides. Taking another, long sheet, spread nut butter or sugar glue along the bottom.
6. Place new pieces along top and side of bottom piece. (note seating shown is celery; it was a prior experiment). Repeat with third long piece.
7. Carefully lift and put on banana wheels.
