Hanukkah Menorah With Two Smiling Butterflies and Grass

A large menorah stands in the center of the page with nine upright candle holders, four on each side of a taller middle one. Curved arms sweep out in rounded arches from the center stem, and the whole thing rests on a flat base tucked into a row of tall, pointed blades of grass. Two cute butterflies with swirly antennae and happy faces sit on either side. One is perched on the right arm near the top, and the other is on the lower left. Three puffy clouds float in the open sky around the menorah. The big, simple shapes make this easy for younger kids to color. Try coloring each curved arm a different shade so the rainbow of arches stands out, then count the nine candle holders together and talk about why the middle one sits higher than the rest. You can print as many copies as you need for a classroom or a family craft table.
