A Story + Art = a great stART!!!
This week for our project we read The Hanukkah Trike, as Hanukkah starts tomorrow... I thought it would be a good idea to expose the girls to some of the culture behind this holiday... and this book does just that...in a cute relate-able way...For our project this week, we made Hand Print Menorah's. I actually had Ryleigh do this project last year as well... since I love hand print activities... I have been waiting patiently to do this one again... even though it is very simple, it is one of my favorites!
The girls used white paint to make their handprints.... I had the thumbs almost overlapping to create the illusion of one candle...
I had the girls do fingerprints in yellow and then in red to create the flames....
Teagan adding some flames to her Menorah...
Ryleigh's finished project...

Very cute! I'm convinced there's nothing you can't make out of handprints. :)
We did handprint Menorah this year too for the postcard to grandparents. The book looks very interesting - maybe next year :)
