DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Marshmallow Menorah Craft

Thanks to Julie Ann for sharing this idea with us.

Julie Ann wrote:  "I've just done a fun project with my 2 3/4-year-old daughter, which I thought you might want to know about & have for the future for your readers: it's assembling a menorah from humble ingredients."

Materials:

  • Cardboard
  • Marshmallows
  • Canned Frosting
  • Milk
  • Food dye

Instructions:

  • On a rectangular stiff board or paper, line up 9 marshmallows, glueing them down with store-bought canned frosting.
     
  • On the middle one, add one or two more marshmallows so that it is taller.
     
  • Paint them (we put food dye in some milk and used that)
     
  • Push grocery-store small birthday-cake candles into the marshmallows.
     

As you may know, the "taller" or somehow-distinctive candle is called the "shammos" or "leader," and it's with that candle that you lit the others.
