Spin a Bottle Cap Dreidel
Here's a Hanukkah craft that's also a Hanukkah game! Spinning tops are a traditional Hanukkah toy, so what better activity to engage the kids this year than with a simple technique for making their own brigade of spinning tops? These tops spin so amazingly well and only use a few materials to make that last forever!
Materials
Directions
Make a hole exactly in the middle of the bottle cap. Some caps have a small bump there -- if not, eyeball it. A hole not in the center will result in an unbalanced top.
Enlarge hole if necessary by moving the needle around while still in the hole.
Insert a toothpick through the hole. To avoid potentially dangerous situations, trim the other half (the pointy side) of the toothpick.
Secure the toothpick with a few dabs of glue and decorate with small pieces of electric tape.
If you're not familiar with how the dreidel game is played, directions are pretty easy to come by on the Internet or you can go here: Rules of the Dreidel Game Have fun!
