Dreidel lichtjes homepage

We saw these dreidel lights on the internet and we were immediately sold on them. We drew immediately draw a pattern and bought light blue tissue paper. We used paper for making sewing patterns on for the white lights, we still had a lot lying around.

With or without a template you can copy the Hebrew words that are on the dreidel. The mini monsters are speechless, they love the beautiful lights so much. But this is a craft for the older monsters or for adults, because the dreidels are not so easy to stick together!
