Shamrock Door Hanger

This is a cute craft that is fun for a wide range of ages, which is always a good thing. Door hangers are a fun way to decorate for a holiday without poking any new holes in your walls.
1. Gather your materials. You will need some cardboard ( cereal boxes are my favorite), some glue, some dried green lentils, a green crayon, tape, scissors, and a gold pipe cleaner.

Star of David Magnet

I am a big fan of sparkles and glitter, frankly I just think it makes anything that much more festive. Even better than adding glitter with glue is glitter foam. Way less mess and such great shine! This fun magnet is not only fun for holding up Hanukkah themed art projects but also for a fun lesson about shapes!
