You're thinking that Chanukah isn't for ages, but that's just wishful thinking; you've only got about a month before it's time to light the candles. For a little one who wants in on the action, you can't beat this wooden set by KidKraft ($24.95 at Amazon). It's got the menorah and candles, of course, but also a dreidel and gelt, and -- my favorite -- a frying pan, spatula and latkes. (Mmmm... the festival of potato pancakes....)
