Countdown to Hanukkah

Yesterday, the JCC and Federation hosted a play group where we read Hanukkah stories, played with instruments and made an arts and crafts project.  Riley had a great time listening to the story, running around showing everyone his belly button and eating his snacks.  


There was a really cute project to make a handprint menorah but Riley wasn't so sure about it.  We got his hands in the paint but then he hated it.  Good thing there were baby wipes at the ready - otherwise it would have been a disaster.


The final project wasn't exactly what it was supposed to be, but it was creative and beautiful anyways.  This is Riley's first Hanukkah decoration and it will be displayed proudly in our house.


And this is how happy the boys were once we were cleaned up and ready to go home.

I think the menorah can be a combo turkorah (turkey - menorah). It's perfect!

Can't wait for Thanksgivakkah!

Love,

Kids are just like a piece of Art. You start with a blank piece of paper then slowly add to it. Over time the art work begins to take on character and personality. It's always a work in progress.

At some point you look back and see what you've created. You have to look back to see it because sometimes you're so involved with the process that you don't appreciate how well you've done.

Enjoy it all!
