I love having family traditions around the Holidays and making Hanukkah crafts with my son brings me so much joy. Especially for little children, art and craft activities are a great way to connect with the story of Hanukkah. Bonding time with the parent is another added advantage for setting up such Hanukkah activities for children.
Here are my favorite easy Hanukkah crafts for kids of all ages.

Dreidel Crafts
Dreidel is a 4 sided spinning toy that is played with during Hanukkah. Spinning the dreidel is a traditional game that is played during the Hanukkah festival. Here is how you play the game.
Dreidel crafts are therefore a popular Hanukkah craft that is used in decorations for the house.
