Nine Flames Glowing on a Hanukkah Menorah

A menorah stands on a round, flat base with a short stem and a flared foot. Nine candles sit in a row, with the tallest one in the middle and four shorter candles on each side. Every candle has a small flame on top. Several of them show wax drips running down the sides, which gives the page a nicely used look. The branches are drawn as stepped, angular lines that join together at the center stem, and each candle rests in a small round cup. Kids can color the wax drips a different shade from the candles and add yellow and orange to the flames. It also works well for a quick Hanukkah lesson: count the candles together and talk about why the middle one is taller. This printable is easy to use at home or in a classroom.
