This Hanukkah Menorah craft will appeal to kids of all ages. It allows for lots of creativity in both color selection, design and candle holder placement.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- Lasagna - 1 uncooked noodle (we used no-bake type) to act as menorah base
- Acrylic paint - assorted colors and paint brush
- Mezzi rigatoni - 9 pieces to create candle holders
- Fun shaped pasta for decoration
- Glue Gun
WHAT YOU DO:
- On a paint-safe work space, paint your flat lasagna noodle using acrylic paint. A simple solid color works or get creative and design a pattern. Set the painted noodle aside and let dry.
- Paint the rigatoni and decorative noodles and let dry.
- When all paint is dry, use glue gun to adhere two stacked rigatoni noodles to each other vertically creating the Shamash (helper candle). Use glue gun to adhere all the candle holders (rigatoni) to the base (lasagna).
- Let dry and display.
If desired a small piece of clay can be placed inside each rigatoni to hold Hanukkah candles.
