The first step to learn how to draw menorah is to plan for the arm placement with light lines. These lines will end up being the center of each, and are the best way to insure that arms are as balanced and even when the drawing is all done. Be mindful though that most young artists tend to draw really heavy, so an extra reminder to draw LIGHT always helps. They need to know these are temporary lines, and will be erased as soon as their menorah is done.

A Kosher Hanukah menorah is when 8 candle holders are in one line with a ninth Shamash, out of placed in height or position on the 9 branched menorah. This type of menorah holds a symbolic meaning as it is a symbol of the Hanukkah miracle, oil burning miracle that lasted for eight days instead of one.

This menorah has just the classic blue color, but many include lots of fun patterns and colors too. One twist to the project might be asking students to design their own!
