Hanukkah is fast approaching, so you better get your dreidel on. Want to make your own, but don't have time to make one out of clay? Try out this awesome paper version (using a PDF printout, cardboard, and a pencil to spin it on) that plays on the words Dreidel and Droid. Yes, that's right! Your very own R2D2 dreidel ... Life is good.

If you do have time (or are just not a Star Wars fan), check out these instructions on how to make a more traditional (and sturdy) clay dreidel, in the second half of this article.
