Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 4-A real boon for Jewish educators and parents, as well as for those who wish to promote multicultural awareness. What makes this craft book so unique is the sheer quantity of ideas. The book is divided into 11 Jewish holidays, with a minimum of 6 crafts for some and as many as 16 for others, such as Hanukkah. The directions are concise and easy to follow, each clearly listing "what you need" and "what you do." Most require scrap items that are readily available. The projects are certainly doable by preschoolers with adult direction; primary graders will be able to replicate them independently. Some background information is included about each holiday as well as some additional suggestions for games and snacks. Black-and-white illustrations are lively, and show the process as well as the end product. While some of the crafts may have appeared in other resources, it is useful to have so many in one volume.

This review is from: Jewish Holiday Crafts: For Little Hands (Paperback)
This is a great books for crafts to do with little and big kids. Some of the crafts take a few minutes to make, and some are more involved, so all ages can get involved. They are easy, but fun crafts and really appropriate for each holiday. That is the kids will learn something. We currently are making hanging bees from toilet paper rolls and spiders from yarn for our sukkah from this book. There are interesting shabbat candlesticks from thread spools. These are just some examples of crafts in the book. We first took this book out of the library, but I realized that we definately needed a copy for ourselves.

This review is from: Jewish Holiday Crafts: For Little Hands (Paperback)
It was alright, however most of the crafts in this book I could think of on my own. It really isn't worth the money. Go to the library!
