Hi and welcome! For those of you who don’t know me well, I’m Chari (pronounced Sha-ree), and I’m a cartoonist. I try to use my cartoon “powers” for good: from creating coloring books for kids with Diabetes, to comics about miscarriages, to graphic novels about bully prevention.
This year has been pretty challenging for all of us. I created my “Corona Mama” comic series as a way for stressed-out parents like myself to tackle pandemic parenting through humor. Laughter has been the #1 way for me to cope with everything that 2020 has thrown my way, and I try to create fun, relatable content to help others feel seen.
Chanukah is the Festival of Lights, and my goal for this year’s holiday is to add as much light as possible! So I officially declared Chanukah 2020 to be PUN-ukah, and I created a Chanukah PUN Pack of activity sheets and coloring pages. I didn’t have a lot of time (in fact, I created this entire packet within 24 hours), but it was important for me to let loose and have PUN making it!
And so here it is - click here to download my FREE Happy PUN-ukah Packet of 10 activity sheets and coloring pages!
If you want to upload pictures of your finished works to spread more PUN-ukah cheer, please tag my social media handles @charipereart and add the hashtag #punukah. In case you’re wondering, here are a few of my favorite sample pages from the booklet:
I’ve got some more holiday surprises up my sleeves! I’ll be creating more puns and coloring pages throughout the 8 days of the holiday! I’ll be sharing colorful memes on both on my Facebook and Instagram social media accounts, and will be sending out the coloring pages through this newsletter.
I’d love for YOU to get involved too! Send some fun Chanukah puns my way! I’ll be illustrating some of my favorites and posting them online. It’s my way to spread some cheer and add some holiday PUN for everyone! If you have any ideas, feel free to respond to this email, or comment on any of my PUN-ukah posts!

I just launched my SWAG store filled with mugs, t-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, prints and more! **I’m offering 10% off throughout Chanukah with the promo code CHANUKAH10**. Fun fact: I’ve created a “Chanukah Pun Collection”, with new designs added daily! The items might not arrive in time for the holidays, but if you do purchase an item and let me know, I will email you a special I.O.U. humorous coloring page for you to send in its stead while you wait for the gift to arrive.
I hope that my Happy PUN-ukah Packet will add some FUN-ukah to your holiday! I’d love to know what you think. :-) Your feedback helps me shape what future activity pages I will create.
Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy Chanukah!
Cheers,
