Gigantic Grapes

Yisrael is learning ספר במדבר and just finished learning about the מעשה המרגלים.  Yisrael came home all excited, telling me that his Rebbe wants to make a play with them, and that the boys can prepare mammoth sized "fruit" for the מרגלים.

We decided to prepare a bunch grapes- we took balloons, covered them with layers of paper mache (this project kept us busy for 3 afternoons!) and then, once they were covered well and dry, we painted them purple, tied them together, and made a really nice looking bunch of grapes!

All the kids had fun helping - there was more than enough work for everyone - and they are busy dreaming up ideas of other things we can make next time they have vacation...any nice ideas?
