Do you know what a dreidel looks like? I'd look up a picture on the net and use it as a base. try jacobsladderjudaica.com. Failing that, a dreidel is like a top that is square instead of round. On one end of the square is a small stick like a dowel - you use this to spin it. The other end is rounded for spinning. Dreidels can look different in detail, but this is the basic shape. There is a letter from the Hebrew alphabet on each side - hay, gimmel, nun and shim. They stand for the words "A big miracle happened there." In Israel the letters on a dreidel are a little different because they stand for "A big miracle happened here."

I have no idea how to describe it or add a picture to my answer. Try a web search for simple line drawings.
