Lighting Up the Dark

Chanukah has been a blast! On Monday everyone in Mitzvah Menchies came in telling us the fun things they had done over the weekend. We heard stories of chocolate gelt, latkes, donuts and dreidels.
Some friends even brought in their wallets to show us their Chanukah gelt.
Each day we spoke about what day of Chanukah we were on, slowly but surely more and more flames were added to the Menorah. The light was getting stronger and stronger.
We turned off the lights and saw how one small candle can light up a whole room.


Our Mitzvos are like the candle that can light up the world. 
Creating some Flame art, using paint  drips and then scraping it off to reveal the beautiful marbleized colors beneath.

The Mitzvah Mentchie Maccabees reviewing the Chanukah story, 
this book tells the story using the Chanukah candles as the narrator.


Yanky was proud to have completed the Menorah with the tangram shapes.
Taking our time to color in the lines.

Our family scavenger hunt was so much fun! Doing the Chanukah yoga with our mommies.
Stopping at the Menorahs to get the different clues!

We enjoyed special activities in honor of Chanukah!
Playing dreidel was a treat!

We love to do regular pearler beads, 
so we switched it up and made some edible Chanukah themed ones!

Decorating donuts was a definite highlight! We saw some creative designs.


Playing a life size prize matching game, Hashem chose the teams of two through a lottery,
 then we chose trays, if we got a matching prize we got to keep it!
