Sukkot Kindness Chain

Making your own garland is an easy way to customize your Sukkot decorations. Find extra scraps of fabric to reuse and recycle materials or purchase fabrics of your choosing, then cut the fabric into strips to tie onto a rope to create a beautiful garland.

Autumn Votives
If you are eating in your sukkah, chances are you’ll need some light to brighten up the table to enjoy your food and company. These fun, votives are an artsy way to decorate, and are easy enough for kids to help create. Once the jars are decorated to your choosing, add in some battery operated candles and you have beautiful lighting to add to your Sukkot table.

Giant Paper Flowers
With the Arizona heat, chances are your flowers won’t last very long outside in the sukkah. However, these beautiful giant paper flowers are the perfect décor to brighten up your sukkah and keep the kids busy crafting for a bit. You don’t need very many materials to create and you can completely customize these flowers to your choice of colors.

Hanging Glitter Pinecones
This beautiful craft is perfect to hang around the top of your sukkah, and the process is great practice of fine motor skills for little hands. After painting and applying glitter to the pinecones, simply attach them to a floral wire and have kids help add beads to create a fun and festive design perfect for a colorful sukkah.
