Arts and Craft for Sukkot
Ready to turn the sukkah into a family project this year? Sukkot arts and crafts are one of the easiest ways to get kids excited about the holiday before the first guests even arrive. From decorating the sukkah walls with garlands and streamers to filling a quiet afternoon with a coloring book or a sticker activity set, this roundup covers the craft paper, activity books, coloring books, and even kid-friendly Sukkot cookbooks that make the holiday hands-on for every age. We've also included two free downloadable Sukkot printables at no cost — just scroll down to grab them.
🌿 Craft Paper & Decorating Supplies
The basics for homemade sukkah chains and garlands.
Homemade paper chains and garlands are one of the oldest Sukkot craft traditions, and green crepe and tissue paper are the easiest materials to work with for kids of any age. String them along the schach or drape them over the sukkah walls for a colorful, kid-made touch that store-bought decor can't match. These rolls are large enough to outfit a full sukkah with paper chains and still have material left over for smaller projects like paper etrogim or leaf cutouts.
✂️ Kids Activity & Sticker Books
Nature and outdoor-themed activities that pair naturally with sukkah time.
Sukkot's harvest and nature themes make these outdoor-style activity books a natural fit for the holiday, even though they aren't Sukkot-specific titles. Stickers and nature puzzles give younger kids something to do with their hands while older family members finish sukkah setup or meal prep, and the outdoor subject matter ties in nicely with the agricultural roots of the holiday.
🎨 Sukkot & Jewish Coloring Books
A quiet craft option for the sukkah table.
Coloring makes a nice quieter craft option to break up a day of paper cutting and garland-making. This is just a starter selection — for our complete lineup of Sukkot and Jewish holiday coloring books, including titles for adults and teens, see our full Sukkot Coloring Pages roundup.

Cooking together counts as a craft too, and these family-friendly Sukkot cookbooks are an easy way to get kids involved in meal prep during Chol HaMoed. Recipes with simple, hands-on steps — like decorating a harvest platter or shaping dough — give younger children a job to do without needing sharp tools or the stove.
🔎 What to Look For
- Age-appropriate materials: Crepe and tissue paper are safe and easy for young kids; save finer craft materials for older children.
- Non-toxic, washable supplies: Especially important for glue, markers, or paint used by children under 5.
- Weather-safe materials for outdoor sukkah decorating: Paper crafts can be laminated or kept under the schach to avoid rain damage.
- Accurate Judaica imagery: Look for craft and activity books that depict the lulav, etrog, and sukkah correctly rather than generic "harvest" clip art.
- Simple, hands-on cooking steps: For the family cookbooks, choose recipes with steps a child can safely help with, like mixing, shaping, or decorating.
