To keep things interesting for the kids, you need to introduce a new craft, here and there. For Hannukkah, why not try these easy, DIY stars? All you need is 6 drinking straws and some yarn or twisties for each item. Take three straws and make them into a triangle. Fasten them together. Then, make a second triangle, and tie that to the first one. Before you know it, you will have a star.
This project is easy enough for all ages and can be done together for family fun. It will be memorable to decorate the house with these, instead of store-bought stars. You made them!
