We made those in grade school - I never knew the meaning behind it. We also used plaster of paris and painted it orange. Then used clay to make the sweets- hard ribbon candy, again painted. Mom must have had close to dozens of them after all of us kids (7)finally got through with elementary school. We lived in a Scandinavian community in Seattle WA.
