During Chanukah season, we got the dreidels all over the
house…. Under the couch, on the counter, on the stairs, in the porch… and some
where they should be -the toy closet. I promised my daughter if she would help
me “find” (clean-up) all the dreidels we would do an activity together. I gave
her the little basket and asked her to place them there. Well, sure enough, she
gathered all the dreidels within minutes. Now, it was my turn to come up with
the activity.
Way back, we received from one of our shabbos guest a clear candy dish with several
compartments. It’s been sitting on top of my fridge quite a while and figured
I’d put it now in good use. I placed it on the floor
near the dreidels and showed
her how to sort the draidels.
For this activity you will need:
Dreidels
A dish with several comportments
If you can’t get access to a dish with several compartments,
you can always use several cups. Assign a color for each cup and have your
child place the dreidels there.This activity is wonderful because it refines so many skills
such as categorization, color recognition and fine motor skills.
Have a Happy Chanukah!
