This is a simple craft for children to celebrate Chanukah.
Materials:
- white paper
- orange or yellow paint
- a contrasting color of paint
- glitter glue
- optional: construction paper
Instructions:
- Paint the child's finger tips on one hand with yellow or orange paint.
- Use the other color of paint to cover the rest of the fingers and palm.
- Press the child's hands open onto a white piece of paper.
- Repeat with the other hand. If the thumb prints overlap it will look more like a menorah.
- Use glitter glue to draw a stand for the menorah.
- If you'd like, glue the white paper onto a piece of construction paper.
