Tiny Tot School: Hanukkah

Maddie is 14 months old.

Tray #1 - Felt Menorah


I created a felt menorah for Maddie to explore this week. We practiced counting, one to one correspondence, and it was a sensory experience as well. She never really put the candles on the menorah, she much preferred to take them out of the basket and put them back in. :)

Tray #2 - Blue Candles, Floral Foam


Similar to our golf tee/floral foam activity. Maddie worked on finger strength and fine motor skills as she pushed candles into the foam and pulled them out. She enjoyed this activity a lot, and would do it over and over again each day.

Tray #3 - Yellow Button Pushing


For this activity, Maddie pushed yellow "gelt" through a buttonhole in an old Parmesan cheese container. She LOVED this, easily her favorite activity this week. She quickly figured out that, once there were several buttons in it, the container made a great rattling noise! She would put them all in, shake it around, and hand it to me to open and get the buttons out.
