My Nephew loves playing with Legos.  He is so amazing at making just about anything out of Legos.  Well, with Hanukkah coming up very shortly he thought it would be a terrific idea to make a couple of Hanukkah Menorahs out of Legos.  I’m hoping you can take a look at these Lego Menorahs and give them a try for yourself.  Or better yet…. make up one of your very own and share them in the comments below.  You can even take a picture of your Menorah and share that with us as well.  So, below you will find my Nephew’s Lego Menorahs as well as a few others I found around the internet.

Check out our other Hanukkah Crafts.

Ideas for Making a Lego Hanukkah Menorah

My Nephew’s Lego Hanukkah Menorahs

Aren’t these both awesome Lego Hanukkah Menorahs?  They really are.  Now, let’s look at a few from around the web.

 Happy Hanukkah Menorah

Wow, this Lego Hanukkah Menorah is pretty amazing…. it is taller than she is.  I found this Lego Menorah over at Gadgets.

Candle Lit Hanukkah Menorah

Here is a Lego Menorah I found over at ChabadHamilton.com.  Here they use real candles in the Lego Menorah.  I’m not real fond of this idea as legos aren’t meant to hold candles…. so please don’t try doing that at home.

Colorful Lego Hanukkah Menorah

Here is a super colorful Lego Hanukkah Menorah.  I found this Lego Menorah over at The Crumb Factory.  She was on entertainment duty and made the Menorah with her kids.

 Happy Face Lego Hanukkah Menorah

Doesn’t it look like there is a “happy face” in the middle of the Menorah?  It looks that way to me.  I found this Lego Menorah over at Rony Pony.  I like the ideas here because not only did she make a Menorah, the kids did too.  Go to the site to check out the other Menorahs.

Dragon Flames Lego Hanukkah Menorah

Here one clever lego maker used dragon flames to create a flamed Menorah look.  I love it.  I found this unique idea over at Bible Belt Balabusta.  It is really cool looking, but looks pretty easy to make.  You should make one too.

9-Foot Lego Hanukkah Menorah

Here is one mammoth size Menorah…. and it made completely out of legos.  It was built by children at the Ocean County Mall.  It is amazing.  Not sure you have enough legos to make this, but I still think you should check it out at Chabad Jewish Center’s website.

I have a cool craft for you today.  I’m going to show you how to make a Paper Strip Dreidel.  This Dreidel craft actually produces a Dreidel that actually spins.  Not just spins…. but spins amazingly well.  So well in fact that I also am giving you the Dreidel game instructions so that you can use your Paper Strip Dreidel to play with your friends.  So grab the materials needed and let’s get started.

Check out our other Hanukkah Crafts.

Materials Needed

Paper of All Different Colors

Scissors

Glue

Toothpick

Marker

Step 1

Cut some long strips of  paper.  Mine were 1/4 inch wide.

Step 2

Add glue to the tip of one of the strips of paper.

Step 3

Get a toothpick.  Wrap paper strip tightly around the bottom of the toothpick… but leaving some of the tip sticking out.

Step 4

When you near the end of one of your paper strips, then glue the end of another strip to the 1st strip.

Step 5

Keep rolling tightly.

Step 6

Add more strips.

Step 7

Add still more strips.

Step 8

It is looking like this.

Step 9

Glue the tip of the last strip down.  Hold tightly for a few minutes to let completely dry.

Step 10

After dries… Pull strips of paper slowly up to look like this.

Look how pretty.

Step 11

Each side of the Dreidel bears a letter of the Hebrew alphabet:  נ (nun), ג (gimel), ה (hei) and ש (shin).

Draw these Hebrew letters on the sides of your paper strip Dreidel.

Step 12

Your paper Dreidel should spin really well.

Dreidel Game Instructions

Each player begins with an equal number of game pieces (usually 10–15). The game pieces can be any object, such as chocolate gelt, pennies, or raisins.

At the beginning of each round, every participant puts one game piece into the center “pot”. In addition, every time the pot is empty and sometimes if it has one game piece left, every player puts one in the pot. Each player spins the dreidel once during their turn. Depending on which player side is facing up when it stops spinning, they give or take game pieces from the pot:

1. If נ (nun) is facing up, the player does nothing.
2. If ג (gimel) is facing up, the player gets everything in the pot.
3. If ה (hei) is facing up, the player gets half of the pieces in the pot. (If there is an odd number of pieces in the pot, the player takes half the pot rounded up to the nearest whole number)
4. If ש (shin) or פ (pei) is facing up, the player adds a game piece to the pot.

If the player is out of pieces, they are either “out” or may ask another player for a “loan”.

There you have it.  You just made your very own Paper Strip Dreidel and have the instructions for playing the Dreidel game….. now go grab your friends and play the game of Dreidel.  Let me know how you did in the comments below…. I’d love to hear about it.

I have a great Hanukkah craft for the youngest of craft fans.  Today I’m going to show you how to make a Handprint Hanukkah Menorah.  This is a great craft to do with your young children.  It’s an easy craft made from a little bit of paint and some paper.  And, keep in the mind…. just because it is an easy craft shouldn’t take away from the fact that this craft is a ton of fun.  So, grab your young kids and some paint and make this craft with me.

Check out our other Hanukkah Crafts.

Materials Needed

Paints – Blue and Orange

Paper

Step 1

Paint both your child’s hands.  I don’t know about your child…. but my child didn’t like this.

Step 2

Put your child’s hands, palms down, on paper with thumbs touching.

Step 3

You can do sooooo…. much better than this.

Step 4

My other daughter helped me.  Put orange paint on your finger and put a fingerprint over each candle.  Both the thumbs in the center are to be only one candle.

Step 5

Completed Handprint Hanukkah Menorah.

There you go…. you have your completed Hanukkah Menorah.  What is really cool is that every Hanukkah Menorah will be different as every child’s handprint is different.  So, make sure to let me know how your handprint Hanukkah Menorah turned out…. share a picture in the comments below.  Now, go hang up your Handprint Hanukkah Menorah for all to see.

Today I’m going to show you how to make an Origami Dreidel for Hanukkah.  A dreidel is a spinning top toy that is played during the Hanukkah season.  Each side of the dreidel has a different Hebrew letter on it.  The children will bet each other which letter will be on top of the dreidel when the dreidel lands.  The winner usually wins chocolate candy called gelt.  Fun stuff!!  So, let’s start today’s craft.

Check out or other Hanukkah Crafts.

Materials Needed

Origami Paper

Glitter Glue, Marker or Paint

Step 1

Pick the color Origami paper that you want your dreidel to be.  Then turn it over to the white side…. like above.

Step 2

Fold in half.

Step 3

Now, it should look like this.

Step 4

Now, open it back up so you can now see a crease in the center.

Step 5

Fold each of the bottom corners up to the center crease.

Step 6

Now, your Origami paper should look like this (an upside down house).

Step 7

Fold both sides to center line over the triangles you just folded.

Step 8

Now your paper should look like this.

Step 9

Bring top of paper down to bottom point.

Step 10

Now it should look like this.

Step 11

Now, fold it part way back up, but not all the way back up.  Fold it where marked above to make a pleat.

Here is another angle of this pleat fold.

Step 12

This is really difficult to show you how to do.  Basically, fold the top of the paper in to the center line and the corners start bending into triangles.

Step 13

Notice the triangles formed.

Step 14

Turn over to the other side.

Step 15

Each side of the dreidel bears a letter of the Hebrew alphabet:  Nun, Gimel, Hei and Shin (the Hebrew letters are shown in image above).  You can use glitter glue, marker or paint to draw a Hebrew letter on the front of the Origami.

The dreidel is beautiful isn’t it?  How did your dreidel turn out?  What color did you make your dreidel?  Let me know in the comments below.  And, take a picture and share it with us as well…. we’d love to see it.

Hanukkah is coming up this weekend and these dreidel gift boxes are just what you need to package up those presents for your family and friends. The cool thing about this project is that it turns into a fun dreidel game by just simply pushing a pencil through it. You can make these gift boxes as big as you need them to be as long as you have large sheets of paper. These Hanukkah dreidel gift boxes are  fun to make and they  look very beautiful as well.

How to Make Hanukkah Gift Boxes (That Can Also Be Dreidels with the addition of a pencil) : Arts and Crafts Activities for Kids for Kids, Teens, Preschoolers

Craft materials required:

Scissors

Glue or Glue Stick

Ruler (if measuring out the box by hand)

Printer (if printing out template)

Marker

Tape

Watercolor paints (or poster paints, crayons, colored pencils, or markers)

paper, posterboard, or card stock

If Printing Out Template Then The Template is Below (This template is for 11 x 17 paper but you can reduce it to fit smaller paper but the box will be tiny) TO MAKE TEMPLATE BY HAND (FOR LARGER BOXES) SCROLL DOWN FOR FURTHER DIRECTIONS.

USE THE TEMPLATE BELOW TO MAKE A BOX TEMPLATE BY HAND-DRAWN METHODS. The box illustrated below is for 3″x3″ squares…but you can change this to any number that is a square – such as 5″x5″.

(1)

Cut Out the Template after you draw it (The above template doesn’t look like the one I told you to make but it worked just the same).

Get your watercolors (or other coloring method) out and color each square a different color (you can color the top and bottom box too if you want. I decided that I liked the brown look on the top. Also write out each Hebrew letter in English (Nun, Gimel, Hey, and Shin). You can paint a black line between each color if you want, it isn’t necessary though.

Draw each Hebrew letter and paint them white and outline them in black to make them stand out on top of the colored squares.

(From right to left the letters are as follow –  (Hey, Nun, Shin, Gimel).

This is a picture of my gift box before I folded it up. Fold at each line (so in between each square). Also fold at each tab…this is what we will glue the box together with. After folding at each line, the box will start to take shape, just glue together and tape closed until it dries.

TO MAKE GIFT BOX INTO A DREIDEL GAME

To make the gift box into a dreidel, just stick a sharpened pencil through the top and bottom of the box. You can do this before you put the gift in, or you can do it after the box is opened. Visit This site for Dreidel Game Rules. Have fun.
