Mini Pomegranate Do-It-Yourself Mosaic Kit

The praise of the Land of Israel for its fruit trees is a deep environmental lesson in itself, testifying to the importance of nature and trees in Judaism. The Bible paints the shade of the grape vine and fig tree as a metaphor for the idyllic world peace we await. In the Bible, the Land of Israel is described as “A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey.” (Deuteronomy 8:8) These seven species were the staple foods consumed by the Jewish people in the Land of Israel in biblical times. Each contains special holiness, as reflected by the unique blessing recited after eating them, thanking God for the goodness of the land. Easy to assemble, even for a novice, this kit does more than supply materials and instructions. The techniques learned from this kit can be used multiple times to create as many pomegranate pattern mosaics as you wish. The Mosaic Kit is a great way to introduce young children to mosaic art, as well as to the magnificent mosaics found in the Holy Land. Once completed, your newly-created piece will feature an illustration of a lovely pomegranate sitting atop a branch. Great to use as office or home décor! The kit is packed in a wooden box with a clear top. Contents: mosaic stones, glue, grout, printed wooden board, plaster, sponge, mixing stick, and instructions. Suitable for ages 10 and up. Stones can be cut with scissors.
