You’ve heard of the Apple Macbook. Just in time for Rosh Hashanah, here is the Apple MicroBook. It may not be a computer, but it is a cute little booklet in the shape of an apple that you can use to jot down your hopes for the new year.
Fill the pages with wishes, resolutions and refections. Then keep it handy all year long to remind yourself of the promises of Rosh Hashanah.
What you’ll need:
Red, green and brown construction paper
Pen
Scissors
Stapler
Glue stick
1. A standard sheet of construction paper is 9 x 12 inches. Cut it into eight sections of 4½ x 3 inches.
2. Stack the pieces together and fold in half. Draw one half of an apple shape along the folded side.
3. Cut along the line with scissors and you’ll have a folded booklet of 16 pages. Staple the middle at the fold.
4. Cut a leaf and stem out of green and brown construction paper. Attach it to the back of the booklet with a glue stick.
