Make a small family book for drawings, traditions and one good memory each night.
STARTER GUIDE · AWAITING MAKER TESTING
Let’s make something lovely.
Before you begin: Stay within arm’s reach. Use age-rated washable materials; grown-ups handle cutting. Skip beads, buttons, loose magnets, batteries and other small parts around children who mouth objects.
- 01
Fold five sheets in half and nest them to make a booklet. Use the outer sheet as the cover.
- 02
An adult secures the spine with a broad strip of paper tape; avoid staples for younger children.
- 03
Number eight spreads, one per night. Leave space for a drawing and a line of writing.
- 04
Decorate the cover with your own shapes, colors or the family’s preferred spelling of Hanukkah.
- 05
Each night add a short memory, drawing or copied recipe note. Store the book with family keepsakes after the holiday.
Use one sentence and one picture per night so the habit remains easy.
Make it personal
Invite relatives to contribute a memory or greeting on the final pages.
