Hanukkah gifts for Dad are easy with Hanukkah crafts. These are 5 Hanukkah gift ideas to get started including dreidels, menorahs and candles.
Hanukkah Gifts and Hanukkah Crafts: Design-a-Dreidel Kit
Kids can design a dreidel just for Dad. The kit includes 3 colored paints in red, yellow, and green; a paint brush; a glitter marker; and some pipe cleaners. It comes with 2 plain wood dreidels so kids can make a matching dreidel for Mom, or keep one for themselves to play with. It’s recommended for kids ages 4 and older. ($4.75 at thejewishmuseum.org)
Hanukkah Gifts and Hanukkah Crafts: Paint Your Own Mosaic Menorah Kit
Give Dad a unique and special menorah. This kit includes everything needed for kids to paint their own usable Hanukkah menorah. It includes 6 acrylic paints, a paint brush, a glitter marker, and a paintable menorah stamped with a mosaic pattern. They can use the space on the reverse side to sign their finished creation. It’s recommended for kids ages 4 and older. ($12.95 at thejewishmuseum.org)
Hanukkah Gifts and Hanukkah Crafts: Hannukah Post It Notes
Save Dad from boring post it notes with a Hanukkah Rubber Stamp Set. The kit includes six Hanukkah stamps with designs like dreidels, menorahs and stars, plus its own ink pad. Get plain blue and white post it pads and go through them stamping designs on the reverse side of each sheet. The stamps are recommended for kids ages 3 and older. ($4.50 at thejewishmuseum.org)
Hanukkah Gifts and Hanukkah Crafts: Hanukkah Cookies
Make an extra special batch of Hanukkah cookies for Dad by helping the kids to bake their own. There are lots of easy online recipes for Hanukkah cookies including delicious honey and spice cookies or butter cookies at www.jewishrecipes.org. You can top them with blue and white royal icing to complete the holiday look. Make this craft even easier with a 5 piece set of Hanukkah cookie cutters including shapes of dreidels, menorahs, and Stars of David. ($2.95 at www.menorah.com)
Hanukkah Gifts and Hanukkah Crafts: Hanukkah Candle Kits
Give Dad some unique Hanukkah candles for his menorah with a Honeycomb Beeswax Hanukkah Candle Kit. The advertisement says it makes 44 multicolored candles, but I think they must mean very small candles because I’ve never gotten that many out of it. It’s still a great kit and easy for kids. You just wrap the wax around the wicks. ($11.99 at www.menorah.com)
