Make Me a Channukia - Kitah Alef

 In Kitah Alef we are exploring different ways of making and decorating Channukiot (Menorahs) The children worked on scratching off the blue color from a ready made Channukia to reveal a shiny surface underneath. They were able to scratch lines and their own designs on the Channukiot.

Here Caleb works diligently to scratch off the blue color on each candle. The children are learning how to hold the stick properly in order to get the best results on their Channukia.

 Later we worked on painting popsicle sticks with a bright yellow color. We will be gluing those sticks down today for a special Channukia. The children turned the popsicle sticks in the paint and also used small brushes to apply the paint. Of course painting on the tablecloth directly was most fun for some.
