Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, lasts eight nights. Families light one more candle on the menorah each night, play the dreidel game for chocolate gelt and eat foods fried in oil, such as latkes and jelly doughnuts. In 2026 Hanukkah begins on the evening of December 4 and ends on December 12.
Four Hanukkah pictures to color by code. Every space holds a fact within 10: children solve it, find the answer in the color key at the top, and color the space that color. Pages 1 and 2 are adding (a menorah, then an oil jug and a jelly doughnut), pages 3 and 4 subtracting (latkes and applesauce, then a bowl of gelt). Some colors have two answers ("3 or 8"). Each page comes in color, with colored circles in the key, and in black and white, with empty circles to color first.
Model the first space together: read the fact, count it out on fingers or counters, find the answer in the key and color. Use the adding pages before the subtracting pages.
Solve a few facts aloud together, then let your child color those spaces. If a space turns out the wrong color, count its fact again together.
