Celebrate the Festival of Lights with our beautiful, free Religious Education hanukkah colouring page eyfs core resource. Designed specifically for children aged 3 to 5, this printable activity introduces pupils to the traditions of Hanukkah in an engaging and creative way. As children colour the nine-branched menorah, they develop their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, which are essential components of the Early Years Foundation Stage (Foundation) framework.
This Religious Education hanukkah colouring page eyfs core is perfect for teachers looking to support the Understanding the World curriculum area. By exploring the symbols of Hanukkah, children learn about different cultures, traditions, and the importance of light during the winter months. Our original character, Zara the zebra, appears on the page to help children spot the symmetrical patterns within the menorah, linking art and maths together.
Teachers can use this resource as a calming carpet-time activity, a fine motor station, or as part of a larger religious education topic on festivals. Because this is a core-level resource, it is designed to be accessible to all learners working at the expected standard. It encourages children to discuss what they see, ask questions about the festival, and express their creativity through colour.
To extend the learning, we have included five questions to prompt classroom discussion:
1. Can you count how many candles are on the menorah?
2. What colours would you like to use for the flames?
3. Why do you think people light candles during this festival?
4. Can you find a pattern on the menorah?
5. How does the light make you feel?
