Sukkot is a holiday when we are commanded to be happy. We feel cleansed and joyful after Yom Kippur is over and now it is time to party!

Here is a tasty sukkah.

You will need:

1. 3 halves of Graham Crackers

(two pieces broken into halves).

2. Smooth/Creamy peanut butter.

3. Small thin pretzel sticks.

4. Fruit-shaped cereal or candy.

5. Popsicle stick/plastic knife (optional)

Paper or foam plate to build on.

Directions:

Build a three-sided sukkah by “gluing” the edges of three graham crackers together with peanut butter. The crackers should be in a “U” shape. Make sure they are at a 90-degree angle from each other.

Dip fruit-shaped cereal in the peanut butter and gently stick onto inside and outside walls.

Make a roof by spreading peanut butter on the pretzels, laying them across the crackers and then sticking cereal on top of the pretzels.
