Montessori-Inspired Hanukkah Activities for Preschool Through Elementary

December 10, 2020 By Deb Chitwood 12 Comments

Happy Hanukkah to our Jewish friends! Even though my family celebrates Christmas, I’ve always liked to introduce my children and now grandchildren (and my students when I was a Montessori teacher) to other cultures and traditions as well. I often read at least one book about Hanukkah and had at least one Montessori-inspired Hanukkah activity available during Hanukkah.
