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:

bulletCardboard
bulletMarshmallows
bulletCanned Frosting
bulletMilk
bulletFood dye

Instructions:

bulletOn a rectangular stiff board or paper, line up 9 marshmallows, glueing them down with store-bought canned frosting.
  
bulletOn the middle one, add one or two more marshmallows so that it is taller.
  
bulletPaint them (we put food dye in some milk and used that)
  
bulletPush 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.
