Jewish crafts for children

Here’s a great collection of Jewish crafts for children to make including menorah, dreidel and Star of David crafts.

Jewish crafts for children

Making arts and crafts projects is a wonderful way for children to explore their creativity.

They can express themselves in their choice of colours, patterns and design.

Like engineers, they can learn about the best materials to use to fit their design as they work with paper, card, paint, and glue.

They’re building fine motor skills as they use scissors.

And they can learn so much about culture and community by creating crafts based around the festivals, religions and holidays of the world.

Enjoy this collection of Jewish crafts with your children.

Easy Jewish crafts children can make

Make a dreidel garland while exploring printmaking techniques.

This dreidel mobile craft can be decorated however your child chooses – and it’s great for babies and toddlers to finger-paint too.

Make your own dreidel spinner and learn how to play the traditional Hanukkah game.

This is a lovely menorah craft that uses a paper plate and has printable candles you can use too.

Here’s a very simple Star or David craft that makes a beautiful suncatcher to reflect the light. It’s great for very little children.

And this 3D Star of David art lesson is a good choice for older children as it explores math, art and surface pattern design.
