We’ve been getting ready for Hanukkah that begins tonight at sundown. Earlier in the month we shared some Hanukkah themed crafts we found on Pinterest. Here are some other fun crafts and activities we’ve been enjoying at our house.
We’ve been playing with the felt menorah that we made last year:
calculating how many candles we’ll be lighting this week:
assembling a paper menorah, dreidel and bowl from The Toymaker’s website:
baking star shaped gluten-free Brazilian cheese bread:
making (interpretive!) menorah collages with penne pasta candles (from Kids Craft Weekly):
and practicing lighting the menorah and singing holiday songs:
I think we’re ready for this particular holiday to begin!
i am LOVING the wooden menorah and latkes!
happy chanukah!
We have the same KidKraft menorah. Shayna loves it! There is also a Little People Hanukkah set that is usually hard to get, but a lot of fun to play with. Shayna uses them year round. KidKraft makes some great Judaic themed wooden toys though. Happy Chanukkah!
mmmm… i wish someone was coming to make latkes at MY house this week!
What fun! Someone looks like she’s having a blast!
We need the wooden latkes, since making the real thing always ends up with a smoky house (I think we heat the oil too much) and holiday pictures that seem a little too smoky and ethereal.
happy hanukkah! i am loving the star-shaped brazilian cheese bread!
