This activity is always a favorite among kids because the way the pennies appear to shine themselves without seeing the dirt going anywhere appears to be magical!

You will need:

Shallow bowl
A few dull pennies
White Vinegar

Simply place the pennies in the bowl and then pour just enough vinegar to cover the pennies. Watch as the pennies shine themselves over the course of approximately 5 minutes. The reflection of the light in the photos does the pennies an injustice- it was pretty incredible to see how nicely the pennies shone after a few short minutes.

 
 
We all end up buying and receiving far more chocolate coins for Chanukah than we know what to do with! This is a fun a activity that you can do either with the wrapped chocolates, or with the recycled wrappers!

You will need:

Chocolate coins
scotch tape
printing paper
crayons

Simply tape the coins to the paper using the scotch tape. If you are doing this with the wrappers, tape them outside-down. Flip the paper over and hold the crayon at about a 30 degree angle from th paper, or unwrap the crayon and hold it so that it's horizontally parallel to the paper and color offer the whole paper. The kids will find the appearance of "pictures" magical!
