Last week the Tel Aviv class worked hard to create their very own, creative, one-of-a-kind menorahs! Each child took either a wood or tile base and then crafted it with additional wood and tiles and then added color through markers and acrylic paints to create a product that they really felt connected to. We worked for a few days and saw that there are SO MANY ways to make menorahs! After the menorahs were dry from thick layers of paint we added nuts with hot glue to put the candles in. Each child counted out 9 nuts: 8 for the candles plus an extra for the helper candle! After we had enough counted out we used the hot glue gun together to make sure that they were each in the right place. We finished the project by wrapping them up in tissue paper and writing cards for our families wishing them a happy Hanukkah! It was neat to watch each child bring to light their creative ideas and to see the uniqueness in each process as well as product.
We hope you are enjoying using them at home!
Happy Hannukah!!
