Questions people ask

What is a good Hanukkah gift for students from a teacher?

Something every child can use or make: a wooden dreidel with the game rules, a gold foil notebook and pen, a Chanukah watercolor pack or a diamond painting keychain. Every gift on this page comes in a pack meant to be shared out.

How many packs do I need for my class?

Count the students, add two or three spares, and check the count on each card. Many packs here hold 24, so one covers a class of 20; the two notebook sets hold 12 each, so a class of 24 needs two packs.

Are there Chanukah gifts for students that are not candy?

Yes, everything on this page is non-food, so there are no allergy or kashrus questions: dreidels, stationery, craft kits and small toys.

Which of these suit preschoolers?

The Play-Doh cans (the listing says ages 2 and up), the 1 3/4 inch wooden dreidels (ages 3 and up on the listing) and the coloring books with stackable crayons. We would keep the clay bead bracelets and the rhinestone keychains for older students.
