Hanukkah Party Printables

Each day this week I am sharing free holiday printables. I have shared Modern Holiday Printables, NYE Champagne bottle labels, and gift tags so far. Today and tomorrow I am sharing Hanukkah party printables. I grew up going to a Lutheran school, but my mom was alway very open to my sister and I exploring other religions. I have been to temple a few times, and I even taught pre-k at a Jewish Day School, BUT, I have never been to a Hanukkah celebration. I reached out to several friends for advice and guidance with design for these printables and I really love the end result! I mentioned yesterday that plaid is really hot right now, so I was thrilled to find out that it is perfectly ok to use plaid on Hanukkah printables! I like it so much more than the blue and white snowflakes!

I used the cupcake toppers to add a little visual image to inexpensive small Solo cups. With all the sugar from the donuts and cupcakes, I wanted the boys to have some milk to help level out their sugar levels, lol! I tinted the milk blue with food coloring and cut a blue paper straw to fit the cups. The kids enjoyed drinking their Hanukkah milk, and I explained a little bit about Hanukkah to them.

There are several different printables for this set. I wanted to include everything my friends suggested, and make them versatile enough to use in different ways. The place cards can be used as food tents. The cupcake toppers can be used as square hanging tags…and something else totally fun, but you will have to check back tomorrow to see what. I made ziploc bag toppers for small class or friends treats, and I made a Happy Hanukkah banner.
