Hannukah Crafts
Preschool Holiday Crafts

Hannukah crafts and art activities based on the holiday symbols.

In case you need a refresher course on the meaning behind the symbols, here is a short description:

Hannukiya - The Hannukiya is a reminder that the small jug of oil lasted for eight days (hense the 8 candles on the Hannukiya). The Shamash is the helper candle and is not counted as part of the eight.

Dreidel - A toy that was created to teach children about the great miracle. The four letters on the dreidel say: Big Miracle Happened There (in Israel it says Here).

Jug of Oil - A small jug was found in the Holy Temple and was believed that it will not last for one day. The oil lasted for eight days.
