    Hanukkah Activities, Ideas, and Crafts

    11.29.2014

    Hanukkah is almost here, a time to gather with friends and family, a time for the celebration of lights. It is a time to share food, music, blessings, and perhaps small gifts with children. It is an opportunity for children to learn about charity and traditions that are passed on through the ages.

    Hanukkah Activities and Crafts by Tools to Grow

    Tools to Grow is pleased to offer some great Hanukkah themed activities and ideas to incorporate into your therapy sessions, home program, school/classroom, or to share with others in your community.  We have separated our Hanukkah themed resources into three categories: Sensory, Visual Perceptual, and Fine Motor Skills.  

    Sensory Coloring - Let's Make a Menorah!

    Hanukkah Activity Sensory Coloring a Menorah by Tools to Grow

    Sensory coloring is a fun activity that kids of all ages love to do! Using the FREE Menorah coloring page (found here), the child begins by using traditional tools such as markers or crayons to color as much or as little as they wish. The next step is to "decorate" the Menorah using glue and medium that offer tactile and olfactory experiences. Some examples and possible uses include:

    • Colored Sand (candles)
    • Yellow Tissue Paper (flame)
    • Glitter Glue
    • Colored/Dyed Rice (candles/flame)
    • Colored/Dyed Dried Pasta (Candles)
    • Dried Pasta
    • Corn Kernels
    • Beads
    • Pipe Cleaners
    • Dry Beans
     

    Visual Perceptual Hanukkah Themed Resources

    Hanukkah Visual Perceptual Activities by Tools to Grow

    Here are four Visual Perceptual Activities with a Hanukkah theme.

    1. Stop, Find, & Color: Hanukkah Edition Level One and Level Two - The child must follow the maze path and complete the “Stop, Find, & Color” boxes along the way. You must complete all stops to finish the maze.

    2. Word Search - This is a great way to address visual scanning and visual memory.

    3. Hebrew Letter Matching - This activity targets visual closure and matching skills. A dreidel is a spinning top game, which is marked with four Hebrew letters: Nun, Gimel, Hei, and Shin. These letters stand for the phrase “a great miracle happened there.” The letters also stand for Yiddish words that are the rules of the dreidel game. In this activity the child must draw a line from the Hebrew letter on the left to the matching filled in letter on the right.


    Fine Motor Hanukkah Themed Resources  

    Fine Motor Hanukkah Activity and Crafts by Tools to Grow

    The last three Hanukkah activities target fine motor skills. These included:

    1. Hole Punch Gifts and Menorah - Using a hole punch and colored construction paper, punch out the number of circles and glue them onto the images as indicated. Includes: A "Hole Punch" of Gifts and Decorate the Menorah!

    2. Color, Cut, and Glue a Menorah - This is a great three step motor task activity. First color the candles and the Menorah base, next cut all the candles out individually, and finally glue them on the Menorah.

    3. Decorate a Gift Box & Tie a Bow - This activity allows the child to color a gift box, cut and fold, and then assemble. Placing a ribbon and tying the bow is a great way to finish this gift box. Child can place a small gift (we used chocolates) inside to give to a friend or family member.

     

    We hope that these activities, crafts, and printable resources offer an opportunity to celebrate or learn more about Hanukkah with the special children in your life.

    Wishing you all a Happy Hanukkah!
