- Design your own wrapping paper for Hanukkah gifts. Use
craft paper or newsprint and stamp Hanukkah symbols such as
a menorah or a dreidel onto the paper. Or draw symbols with
glue and sprinkle with blue and silver glitter.
- Make your very own beeswax candles for the family
menorah! Beeswax is sold in sheets in lots of different
colors. Simply place a length of wick onto a sheet, then
roll the sheet tightly around the wick. Press the edge of
the wax sheet to the roll, and you've got beautiful
homemade candles!
- Make Star of David decorations for your home. Form a
triangle with 3 popsicle sticks and glue them together.
Form another triangle the same way. Glue the two triangles
together in the form of a Star of David. Draw squiggly
lines on the star with glue, and sprinkle with blue glitter
if you wish. Hang the stars around your home, using yarn or
ribbon.
- Decorate plain blue ball ornaments with silver and gold
paint pens. Draw Hanukkah symbols such as a dreidel and a
Star of David. Attach a piece of pretty ribbon to the
ornaments and hang them in windows and on cupboard handles.
