Hanukkah Story Puppets
PJ Library parent Jennifer Stempel often finds herself as the "Hanukkah parent" at school, and this year was no exception. To keep kids engaged and entertained during a virtual story time, she and her friend Jason Spitz, created their very own custom-illustrated Hanukkah puppets. You can make your own just like they did, or use the handy template below. Just print, cut, and attach to pipe cleaners or popsicle sticks.
