Shalom the Shomer Shabbos Boy

A kindergarten curriculum for lamed tes melachos. Sholom is a life-sized boy made out of cardboard with moveable arms, who wears real clothes and tzitzis! He is full of staple holes by now after all these years of teaching children about Shabbos, but that doesn't stop him from wearing his big Shabbos smile! Sholom's moveable arms hold a different implement each week to illustrate a practical example of the melachah we are learning (for a girls' class you can make "Shirah the Shomer Shabbos Yaldah"). The children were so excited to come in Monday morning and see what Shalom would be doing this week. Please note: There is no pattern provided.
