Chanukah Handprint Menorah
Celebrate the Festival of Lights by making a menorah with your very own handprints!
1. Chanukah, The Festival of Lights, is celebrated with the lighting of one candle in a menorah each night for 8 nights. A tall candle, called the shamos, is used to light the smaller candles.
2. Spread newspaper over your work area. Pour Crayola® Washable Finger Paint into foam produce trays. Dip both hands, with fingers slightly spread, into the paint.
3. In the middle of construction paper, line up your paint-covered hands side by side, with your thumbs touching. Gently and firmly press hands onto the paper.
4. Dip your index (pointer) finger in paint. Place your finger above your thumbprints to make the middle, highest candle, called a shamos.
5. Wash or wipe your hands thoroughly. Put a finger into yellow, white, and/or red paint. Press on top of each candle to create flames.
