Ways to Explore the Hanukkah Sensory Bin

They explored what was in the bin. There are many different textures that they could explore: soft, hard, squishy, and slippery.

They did the puzzle and named the pieces. It is a good way to build vocabulary that they might not always use.

They pulled out the nine candles from the bin. It took a while to find all nine of them.

We counted the candles they found. We talked about why there at 9 candles and not just eight. That the 9th candle is the Shamash.

We read the book and matched up the candles on each of the pages. This was a great building up on numbers and to see how the candles go up each day. We talked about how many candles they might use every night.
