Arts -- sticky note pictures, foil sculptures, rock sculptures.

Arts 1 -- sticky note picture

Why. This artwork will reinforce the image of the ladder with angels going up and down.

Materials: oversize papers, fine tip pens or markers, lots of sticky note pads.

To get ideas, look over the artwork suggestions above.

On big sheets of paper, sketch Jacob dreaming, with staircase in dream bubble over his head.

Have them make it a wide staircase so that can fit 2 rows of angels on it.

Have the kids draw a set of angels going 1 direction or up, and a set going the other direction for down.

You can try a few different colours of sticky note pads for this


Arts 2 -- foil models. Give students large sheets of tin foil. Suggest they form sculpture of part of the story in foil, ie sleeping man, ladder, angels, etc.


Arts 3 -- rock sculptures. This could work for older kids. Collect rocks or gravel. Try forming sculptures or 2d rock pictures of the scene, either with glue of without.



Kitchen -- raisin pillows, rock cookies

RAISIN PILLOWS

Ingredients:
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. raisins
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
6 apples
10 sheets filo pastry, frozen type

Directions:
Peel, core and slice apples. Add lemon juice, nuts and raisins. Cool in refrigerator. Take 8 to 10 filo sheets. Place on damp cloth. Dab each one with butter. Be careful for they are thin and delicate. Put the cooled filling on the filo sheets. Spread evenly. Roll up with the towel carefully. (Do not roll the towel in the filo sheets. The towel is merely used to assist in rolling.)

Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Put slits on top with a knife about every inch. P Put in oven for 30 minutes. Every 10 minutes dot with butter. Top with powdered sugar.


ROCK COOKIES

Ingredients:
Butter – ½ cup (at room temperature)
Sugar – ½ cup
Flour – 1-1/2 cups
Egg - 1
Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
Vanilla – 1 teaspoon
Raisins – 10-15 (optional), lightly fried in ghee
Cinnamon - 1/2-inch piece stick (optional), powdered
Salt – ½ teaspoon

Directions:

Method: Cream butter, sugar, and egg in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in the flour, salt, vanilla essence, baking powder, raisins, and cinnamon powder. Refrigerate the mix for few minutes if needed to make it firm. Preheat oven to 320 degrees. Shape into lime-sized balls, sprinkle some sugar on the top, press down slightly, and place on a lightly greased pizza tray or cookie sheet allowing enough room for spreading. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 320 degrees or till the edges become slightly brown.
