Supplies Needed: Tokens or coins about 20 each player Dreidel
#1: Divide the tokens equally among the players #2: Each player must start by placing one token in the center pile. This is known as the pot. #3: Each player takes turns spinning the dreidel. Based on which letter is facing up when the dreidel stops determines if you will give money to the pot or collect נ “Nun” means nothing, you win nothing, you lose nothing. ג “Gimel” means you take the whole pot. ה “Hay” means you win half of what’s in the pot. ש “Shin” means “put in” - you lose, and must put one. #4: When there are no more tokens in the center each player adds up their tokens and the one with the most is the winner!
Don’t have a dreidel, Kids Craft Zone can help!
Halloween is one of my favorite times! Even though I am down here in South Florida I can remember growing up in Indiana and the great times associated with Fall. The chill in the air and the changing of the leaves. I absolutely loved taking a hayride to pick out pumpkins. Luckily I am going back this year and get to experience it with my children! Where in your area do you go to get your Halloween pumpkins? Send us a comment with the name of the farm, state, city and website or address! Thanks a million!

Supplies Needed: 2 different colors of Felt (1.5 yards of each color, assuming bolt is a min of 45 inches) Glue Gun Fabric Paint
#1: Cut a length of string, about 40 inches long. With the glue gun, dab a little glue towards the bottom of a pencil, and wrap the string around once or twice. Starting from where the string is attached to the pencil, measure 7 inches of string and tie a knot there. Then measure an extra 28 inches of string (for a total of 35 inches of string) and tie a second knot at that part. You should get 2 circles from each 1.5 yards of fabric. #2: Cut along the arcs to make four quarter-circles of felt with the points cut away. Lay the pieces of felt in the color order you prefer (try alternating the colors), to create a circle. The right edge of each piece should overlap on top of the left edge of the adjacent piece by about an inch. Because of the overlap, the hole at the center (where the tree trunk will be) will not be a perfect circle. But this adds to the homemade character of your creation. Do not glue one side of the skirt so that it can be placed around the tree #3: Decorate your tree skirt.
* Decorating ideas:
-Let each member of the family decorate a section of the skirt -Each year place the kids handprint and date on the skirt -Cut out Christmas shaped sponges and place paint on them to create sponge images on the skirt -Place family photos from each Christmas on printer photo paper and iron onto your skirt -Draw and cut out Christmas felt items such as trees, snowmen, snowflakes, gingerbread men, candy canes, Santa Clause, bells, stars
