Ornate Hanukkah Menorah With Nine Candle Cups

A tall menorah fills the page, drawn in clean black outlines with a center stem rising from a curved, decorated base. Eight curved arms sweep out from the stem in graceful arcs, four on each side, and each one ends in a small cup with vertical ridges and a wide rim. The ninth cup sits on top of the center stem, set a little higher than the others. Small round beads mark the points where the arms meet the stem, and little scrolls and shell-like leaves curl along the branches. The base has a flower-shaped design with tiny patterns inside it. There are no flames or candles, so the cups are ready to be filled in. Try coloring the center cup a different shade from the other eight to talk about the helper candle, then pick metallic crayons or gold and silver pencils for the arms. Free to print for a Hanukkah table or classroom activity.
