WITH THESE GREAT GIFTS FOR KIDS
RACHEL KURLAND | JE STAFF
Nothing’s more memorable than a bad gift.

Themed holiday socks, a singing wall-mounted bass or basically
anything you’ve ever seen on an infomercial at 3 a.m. can round out
that list pretty well.

And when it comes to what to get your young children, grandchil-
dren, nieces, nephews and the like, you certainly don’t want to disap-
point and make for a rather lackluster holiday.

But finding the perfect Chanukah gift for kids doesn’t mean mega
toy monster trucks or Tickle Me Elmos (remember those?).

A truly meaningful gift combines the spirit of the holiday, a little bit
of pizzazz and a dash of educational value (sorry kids, but your parents
will agree with me on this one).

MAKING THE MENORAH
For the Lego generation — and those passing it on to their kids
— Deforma Building Blocks (ages 6 and up) are a fun way to
allow kids to create their own menorah.

Shaping the menorah is educational, too, helping kids prac-
tice problem-solving techniques and build motor development
skills. Plus, who doesn’t love building blocks?
The set is just over $20 and can be bought on Amazon.com.
