Milk Carton Dreidel



What you need:

  • 1 small, single size paper milk carton
  • Tape
  • Knife
  • Paint
  • 1 popcicle stick
  • Glitter pen or white craft glue and loose glitter

Directions:

  1. Take a small, empty milk carton container and wash it out thoroughly. Dry it gently using a kitchen towel.
  2. Close the spout on the container and tape it shut using a small piece of masking tape.
  3. Using a kitchen knife (parents, please do this part for your children) cut a small incision into the bottom centre of your container, just long enough to put a Popsicle stick through.
  4. Paint the entire milk carton whatever colour you choose. If the paint looks streaky, do another coat.
  5. Wait an hour to make sure the paint is completely dry and then add the letters Nun, Hay, Gimel and Shin (pictured below) with glitter pens or craft glue and loose glitter to the four sides of your dreidel, one letter on each side.
