About this book

This gorgeous book not only contains Hanukkah-themed activities and recipes, but also lots of information about the Jewish faith.

Readers can learn about the history of Hanukkah, an explanation of the Jewish calendar, and about the annual Hanukkah torch relay in Israel. Then they need to ready their scissors and pencils in order to create the many crafts.

Follow step-by-step instructions and make cards, window decorations, dreidls, menorahs, wrapping paper – and food! There are many delicious recipes to try – with the help of an adult, of course – including a marshmallow dreidl. The final section of the book has pages for the reader to fill in with memories of this Hanukkah and goals for the coming year.

With beautiful full-colour illustrations by Kathryn Selbert, this activity book is the perfect gift for any child wanting to be creative.
