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 number. Every space shows a number; children find it in the color key at the top, where each number has its dots beside it to count, and color the space that color. Pages 1 and 2 use the numbers 1 to 4 (a dreidel and a jelly doughnut), pages 3 and 4 the numbers 6 to 9 (a menorah and a bowl of gelt). Each page comes in color, with colored circles in the key for children who cannot read the color words yet, and in black and white, with empty circles to color first.
Color the key's circles together first, saying each number and counting its dots. Children who know their numbers can work alone; others can work with a partner who points to the key.
Name each number together and count its dots in the key. Let your child choose a number and find every space with it before moving on.

Hanukkah color by number pictures of a dreidel, a jelly doughnut, a menorah and a bowl of gelt. Children find each number in the color key, counting its dots if they need to, and color every space with that number to finish the picture.
