Soaps...

During the summer holidays the soaps can always be useful ...
If then they have to portre traveling better if they are small and already packaged, they will appeal to children.
Use 100% natural soaps, coconut oil, honey or olive oil, for example, cut them in half and invent how to package them and label them (labels: www.evermine.com). 

Use jute, recycled wrapping paper, brow paper bags...
Tips: uses for brown paper bags
  • To ripen peaches, avocados, pears, apples or tomatoes, put them in a brown paper bag. The paper helps retain the natural gases that ripen the fruit. Remember, as soon as you refrigerate the fruit or vegetables, the ripening process stops. Store mushrooms in a brown paper bag to keep them fresh.
  • To keep onions on hand for two or three months without sprouting, remove them from their mesh or plastic sack and put them in a brown paper bag on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.
  • Tie a large brown paper bag over the head of your dust mop to shake off the dirt and dust inside the house.
  • Drain fried foods or cool cookies on brown paper bags
  • Cut or tear a 10-inch strip along the back seam of a brown paper bag and slip it over your car steering wheel to keep the wheel cool and touchable during hot weather.

Summer lanterns

Create small lanterns or candle holders for summer dinners, cheerful and colorful.  
Recycle jars of baby food, apply strips of tape paper at a distance of about 1cm. 
Paint with acrylic colours. Once dry, remove the tape paper, fill halfway with durum wheat and cut strips of jute to tie them around the jar.  
Decorate your tables summer with something completely recycled ...
...trusting the magic of summer to provide us with a world of infinite possibilities.

Lavender Time

Lavender is ready to be harvested. 
If you have a corner of the garden or a balcony take the opportunity to plant some lavender plant. In early summer, you can make your first crop, then make the flowers dry and perfume your home..or make small gifts to friends.  
Create small bags of cotton where to put lavender flowers dry and dry, the result will be long-lasting and pleasant.

Add a few drops of lavender essential oil in bags and you have the perfect Havdalah besamim.
In the course of the havdalah ceremony, we sniff at besamim -- aromatic herbs, spices, or fruit (whole cloves are very popular). With the entry of each Shabbat, the soul of every Jew is uplifted by the presence of a neshamah yeteira, an additional spiritual dimension, a "Shabbat Soul." With the departure of Shabbat and the arrival of another mundane work week, this neshama yeteira departs, leaving behind a gloomy soul. According to kabbalah, of all the five senses, smell is the only one which impacts the soul. The fragrant smell of the besamim comforts and soothes the soul at its most difficult juncture of the week.

Tisha b'Av - Jerusalem painted bricks

The saddest day on the Jewish calendar is the Ninth of Av, “Tisha B’Av.” It is the date when both our Holy Temples were destroyed, and exile, persecution and spiritual blackness began.
Tisha B’Av starts at sundown of the eighth of Av and lasts till the following nightfall.
From the ashes of the destroyed Temple will rise an incomparably magnificent edifice. Exile will give birth to redemption. It is a tradition that our redeemer will be born on Tisha B’Av. It is a day of anticipation and hope, for “One who mourns Jerusalem will merit seeing her happiness.

With some dry air clay create with children some fake bricks, with small brushes and acrylic colours paint on them a picture you like of Yersushalayim. Let the paintings "unfinished" and the edges of the fake bricks inaccurate as if they had been removed or fallen. Create fractures along the bricks and then arrange it with glue.
