Now that Thanksgiving is over and December has started, I am thinking about the winter holidays. This sticker tracing Hanukkah activity is a super simple fine motor activity to get in the holiday spirit.

For even more winter holiday fun, try these easy Christmas crafts!

I chose to make this Hanukkah activity, but it could very easily be adapted for any holiday or theme by using different shapes and stickers.

First, I found some Hanukkah images online and printed them out. I chose a simple Star of David for Emma (5) and a slightly more involved dreidel for Izzie (7).

I found these colorful star stickers (affiliate link) and only used blue, silver and gold – traditional Hanukkah colors.

Before the girls got started, we talked about patterns and they each chose a pattern for their stickers. Emma did a two-color pattern to keep hers a little simpler, and Izzie did a three color pattern.

When they finished outlining their pictures with the stickers, they wanted to do some coloring.

While they were coloring, I had Izzie practice spelling the colors she was using. Emma read me the letters on her picture and then sounded out the words.

For such a simple Hanukkah activity, there are a variety of learning opportunities!

If your children aren’t familiar with Hanukkah, you could include a Hanukkah story so that the pictures actually make sense to them.

Some of our favorites are: My First Chanukah by Tomie dePaola, Biscuit’s Hanukkah and Elmo’s Little Dreidel (affiliate links).
