Celebrate Jewish holidays and traditions with 50 fun and easy crafts for all ages!

Discover the Jewish holidays and new ways to celebrate them with fun, beautiful, and easy-to-complete crafts for family, friends, and community to enjoy. This vibrant how-to guide walks you through the Jewish year from Rosh Hashanah to Passover, offering imaginative activities and thoughtful reflections on each holiday's meaning.

With full-color photographs and hand-drawn illustrations throughout, this book brims with more than 50 ideas, such as how to:

  • Draw yourself as a tree for Tu B'shvat
  • Craft a house lantern and shine bright for Hanukkah
  • Bake some calm into Shabbat with homemade challah
  • Play with homemade puppets during Purim
  • And much more.
Three sheets of colorful stickers help bring your crafts to life, and a keepsake back pocket offers space to store your finished crafts. With endless inspiration and gentle guidance, this book will help you craft and connect year after Jewish year.

UNIQUE, CONTEMPORARY APPROACH: Cultivate mindfulness, joy, and connection with family and friends through Jewish holiday crafting. In this unique guide, chapters are organized not by holiday, but by the core values each season teaches us (the Art of Self-Reflection, the Art of Openheartedness, the Art of Nurturing Nature), each bursting with color, whimsy, and inspiration.

POPULAR EXPERT AUTHORS: Coauthors Amanda Kingloff and Suzy Ultman are a powerhouse duo. Amanda is the creative mind behind ProjectKid, a brand devoted to helping families build imaginative and beautiful lives through hands-on creativity. Suzy's Jewish lifestyle brand, SUZALEH, reflects her passion for creating contemporary Jewish lifestyle products with whimsical, modern flair.

FUN NEW TRADITIONS: These activities follow the Jewish calendar, beginning with Rosh Hashanah. Along with the crafts, the authors also highlight everyday and holiday foods from Jewish communities around the world, offering a taste of the rich, diverse flavors that bring Jewish life to the table. Passed down from generation to generation, this joy-filled book will help families create new traditions and strengthen existing ones.
