Making Hanukkah candles is a perfect way to introduce or strengthen the family holiday tradition. This addition to our popular line of children's interactive crafting and educational kits comes complete with enough beeswax sheets and wicks to create 44 candles for the eight nights of Hanukkah, plus glitter to decorate the candles, and a beautiful box to hold them. The 48page book inside contains a history of Hanukkah, directions for making and lighting the candles, prayers in Hebrew and English, and recipes, songs, and crafts to celebrate the Festival of Lights.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not enough supplies to complete the project,
This review is from: The Hanukkah Candle Kit (Paperback)
My family of five sat down with this kit for a fun afternoon of candle-making. We were very disappointed to discover that, despite the package's claim of "everything you need to make eight nights of lights," there was only enough string to make wicks for about 12 candles! (You need 44 candles for all 8 nights of Hanukkah.) My three children (ages 4,6,and 8) and my husband and I were really looking forward to this activity. Because of the lack of adequate supplies, as well as the brittleness of the wax, it turned out to be a huge waste of money and expectations. Until the company fixes the supply problem, I would not recommend this product. Good potential, so that's why I gave it 2 stars and not 1.

This review is from: The Hanukkah Candle Kit (Paperback)
This is a charming idea and is a great project to do with kids (you do have to take care with the beeswax and soften it between your hands before you roll the candles). I did it at school with my daughter's 2nd grade class but was so disappointed to find that there was not nearly enough wick to make 44 candles! For nearly 20 dollars this was a serious shortcoming, as the labeling says in several places it has "everything you need!"

This review is from: The Hanukkah Candle Kit (Paperback)
The book had interesting information but the wax was brittle and there was not nearly enough wick material to make 44 candles my children almost 5 and 3 were incredibly disappointed as was I - be sure to buy candles from elsewhere because these are miserable!
