Sefer Hamitzvot for Children

By Malka Touger

Negative Commandment 4 (For Children)

You shall not make statues of animals or men even if they are not made for idol-worship

Exodus 20:20 "Do not make with Me gods of silver, neither shall you make for yourselves gods of gold"

We are forbidden to make statues of animals or men because other people may consider them to be idols.

Making these statues is forbidden even if the person who makes these statues did not intend them to be used for idol worship.
