1. Gather your materials. You will need 4 sheets of foam, they don’t need to be sticky back but it’s even easier if they are, especially the candles. Scissors, some ribbon, an orange marker, and a pen.
2. If your child is helping you I would have then paint or decorate the base piece of foam or paper. While they do that you can start the cutting.
3. Start by cutting out a semi circle. in the silver foam. After you do this fold in half and make a series of 4 small 1/4 inch wide and about 2 inch long cuts into the semi circle arching towards the center. ** For an easier more kids friendly version you can simply cut out a semi circle and add small squares on top for each holder and use a larger square for the center.
4. Trim all but the center holder , the middle should be higher than the other 8 holders. You can see my ill fated drawings, going free hand ended up working the best.
5. Cut out a base for the menorah.
6. Using the white foam cut out 9 rectangle candles. Older children can do this no problem.
7. Using the yellow foam cut out 9 flames.
8. Draw a little orange marker in the middle of the yellow flames.
9. If you are using sticky back foam peal back only a small part of the flames backing and attach it to the white candle.
10. Attach the menorah base on the backing piece( foam or your own paper that was decorated) .
11. Add the candle holders.
12. When it’s time to light your menorah just peel off the backing of the candle and stick it on. For how to properly light a menorah check out Chabad.org
13. Poke small holes in the upper corners of the backing and thread a ribbon through, tie a knot and trim the end.
14. This is how it will look fully lit!
