Easy Hannukah Crafts

Posted in Spirituality

Today begins Hannukah. I have been telling my little ones about this festival of lights and what it represents. Between Sundays has a small section about Hannukah: a story to read, a little bit about the history, and a dreidel craft. We looked at pictures of hannukiyah's (menorah's) and the Star of David at google, they listened to the story about the little lamp of oil that burned for 8 days, we made potato latkes to eat for snack with homemade applesauce, and I gave them a small dreidel to play with. You can find the rules for the game here.
