Latke Center!

We are not always lucky enough to have the whole week of Chanuka with our preschoolers! 

This year, we had so much fun- each day- experiencing the Chanuka traditions and excitement with the children.

On Monday we made latkas from scratch- and turned our dramatic play /kitchen center into a "Latke Center!"

We stocked up the shelves with all the ingredients...

Starting with a visual recipe card...

 

children followed along from the card, placing items in the bowls!

 Eggs...

ping pong balls placed in empty egg cartons!






 


Potatoes, onions, spices....


 


Frying pans, spatulas, latkes (some burnt and some raw)...


Morah keren turned some old socks into soft play latkes for the children!

After practicing and having lots of fun in our play kitchen...

we brought out the real thing! What a blast we had working on our fine motor skills peeling those potatos! 

And taking turns to place them in the blender! We all know how to be safe around a blender that has a sharp knife in it!
