This Hanukkah Menorah craft will appeal to kids of all ages. It allows for lots of creativity in both color selection, design and candleholder placement.
To make your pasta menorah, you will need the following:
- Lasagna - 1 uncooked noodle (we used no-bake type) to act as menorah base
- Acrylic paint - assorted colors and paintbrush
- Mezzi rigatoni - 9 pieces to create candle holders
- Superglue of your choice
1. On a paint-safe workspace, 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.
2. Paint the rigatoni noodles and let dry.
3. When all paint is dry, use super glue to adhere to two stacked rigatoni noodles to each other vertically creating the Shamash - helper candle. Use super glue to adhere all the candleholders (rigatoni) to the base (lasagna).
4. Let dry and display.
If desired a small piece of clay can be placed inside each rigatoni to hold Hanukkah candles.
