Whether the
kids are clamoring to paint, play with clay or make a tasty treat, these eight
Hanukkah activities offer opportunities for artsy play, a fine motor workout,
holiday learning and more.
Check out
our eight night of Hanukkah, eight nights of kids’ activities:
Not looking
for a major mess? Swap out the real finger paint for soft modeling clay. The
result looks almost the same (and your child gets in a similar fine motor
workout), minus goop and glop everywhere.
Ok, so the
kids want the messy paint experience. Cut up a regular kitchen sponge and try
this pattern play art activity (it also doubles as a math lesson – with geometric
shapes and patterns).
Chocolate,
marshmallows, graham crackers and Hanukkah? Yes! You can even make these
super-tasty treats entirely kosher.
It’s science
and art all in one! Let’s not forget math and engineering too. Your child can
build his own menorah, watch it melt (make a few predictions and observations)
and then paint with it.
Art-making
in three dimensions. This 3D project pops off of the paper with a finger paint
feel.
6. Menoreos
What? These
cookie truffle balls are all about the holiday. Serve them up after dinner,
give them to a friend/family member or no-bake them for a school party.
Turn a
takeout container into a dreidel. No, it doesn’t really work. But, you can open
it and fill it with gifts to give.
If you’re
looking for another gift box creation, this one is covered in a Hanukkah-themed
collage. It’s easy to make, but still gives the kids the chance to build fine
motor skills.

We don't celebrate Hanukkah but these are great crafts for teaching about the holiday, too! Thanks for sharing at the Thoughtful Spot!
