Happy Hanukkah! This is a special time of celebration and learning! There are many symbols associated with Hanukkah. Today is your opportunity to come and learn more about many of these symbols. Engaging activities are sure to have your little ones delighted while wanting to learn more about this special holiday. Some activities are:
- “Good To Go” Game: Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel – The dreidel is painted with letters, gimel, hey, nun, and shin which are written on the sides. Learn and play this traditional game while your 4-year-old works on cognitive skills including counting, symbol identification, and following commands.
- Colorful Cultures: Smart Art Star of David – Use your creativity and new knowledge of this holiday to make your very own Star of David ornament.
Play Partner: Pretendgineers and BrainBuilders; our experienced stage staff of trained early childhood and development educators, grown-ups
Grown-up Tip: By 4 years old, most children are able to understand the concepts of “same” and “different”. Talk about the traditions of Hanukkah and ask your child if they are the same or different from the traditions you may celebrate with your family.
