 This page was designed to help parents, scout leaders and
teachers find information about crafts and were to order often hard to find supplies. As a former
teacher trainer and member of many education committees, I just can't resist listing sites I find on the net that look
helpful to teachers.
First I had to divide the resource and supply pages into Jewith and Non Jewish.
Now the pages have got so long I have divide the Jewish pages into two Jewish
resources and Jewish Supply Sources.
I suggest that Jewish teachers look carefully through all of these pages as many of the
basic skills and lessons listed are invaluable and can be applied to any
setting.
Chadis Crafts's Mini Stores from Amazon.com.
We
designed them to
help you find some hard to find and very useful supplies and resources.
SITES TO ORDER SUPPLIES FOR: JEWISH PRESCHOOLS, SCHOOLS, CAMPS AND FOR FUN AT HOME:
genwax.com.
Offers candles and candlemaking supplies. I just realized I needed to list them
on the Jewish Pages. They have beeswax and parafin sheets.(great
for rolling Chanukah and Havdallah Candles.) I
recently visited their site again and found parafin sheets. They say they are
cheaper than beeswax and softer for children to use. They have some
great metal molds including 6 sided star
pillar and shabbat
candles. Plus oil for Channukah mennorahs or Shabbat but they seem
to carry many accessories. Watch for more candles projects as I bought
some of their paints.
Jewishcrafts.com - Just for the
Mitzvah Catalog.
Jewish Craft Supplies. Just redid their site. Now has a new on line
catalog. Lots of great Jewish crafts
including lots of wooden projects. Most are in the $1.00-$2.50 each in dozen
lots. (slightly higher for individual sets.) Since many projects look like they
would take longer than the 30 to 40 minutes in a typical class, (while you wait
for paint and glue to dry etc.) it looks like they would fit my 2 day budget.
I especially liked the many mennorah and seder
plate kits.
Janie's Coloring
Hats
Hats to color for all occasions, holidays, camps, birthday parties
etc. Great pictures and very reasonably priced. Perfect for classes, camps,
libraries, zoos and more that need a creative project. Pictures printed on the
hats are great and real fun looking. Plus large area left for child to
individualized and add his or her own creative designs. She has a great section for Jewish Holiday
Hats! Holidays, Shabbat, Israel, Aleph Bet, Birthday, Tzedakah, Brachot and
Israeli Flag. Pictures are really appropriate for the occasion, lots of Hebrew
too.
1-800-dreidel.com
A old favorite catalog
of mine. She just
starting to put some of her craft products on a seperate site. Now mostly great fabrics.

tallits. Catalog now features ready made (for people like me that are crafty but
can't sew) aprons, place mats, clothes made of Jewish FABRIC. Also great fabric for the new fabric bowl craze! See Lori's Crafts at Chadis
Crafts and Kippot for ideas on Judaic fabric bowls. For those of us that
can't sew, I have already bought many of her products and they are incredible!
