Product Description

Making Hanukkah candles is a perfect way to introduce or strengthen the family holiday tradition. This new addition to our popular line of book-plus kits comes complete with enough beeswax sheets and wicks needed to create 44 candles for the eight nights of Hanukkah, plus glitter to decorate the candles, and a beautiful box to hold them. The 48-page book 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, December 10, 2006

By	S. Birch - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hanukkah Candle Kit a Hit with my Kids!, December 20, 2003

By	Mike Gendelman (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

We celebrated the first night of Hanukkah using Mr. Abramson's Hanukkah Candle Kit with our 11, 7 and 5 year old sons. Our boys thoroughly enjoyed making their own Hanukkah candles supplied in the kit. The instructions were easy to follow and the materials were fun for them to work with. I was concerned that there might not be enough wick material for 44 candles (based off of another reviewer). I e-mailed the publisher (www.runningpress.com) and was told they would send me additional wick material if I needed it. Our kids could not wait to light their just made candles and recite the Hanukkah prayer. It was truly a fun and creative way for our kids to celebrate Hanukkah. Thank you Mr Abramson for putting together this wonderful kit and book!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not enough supplies, December 20, 2003

By A Customer

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!"
