Things You'll Need:
- Blue paint
- Yellow paint
- 2 Paintbrushes
- Your hand
-
Step 1
Paint your child's right hand blue. Press it down on the right side of the paper, with the fingers spread out and upright like the candles on a menorah. Keep the thumb sideways.
-
Step 2
Paint your child's left hand blue. Press it down on the left side of the paper, with the fingers spread out and upright like the candles on a menorah. The thumb should be pressed directly over the thumb from the right hand to look like the "helper candle".
-
Step 3
Wash your child's hands and dry them thoroughly. Have your child dip his/her pointer finger in the yellow paint and dot the top of each candle to look like the flame of the candle.
-
Step 4
Write the word "Happy" above the menorah and the word "Hanukkah" below the menorah.
-
Step 5
Cut out or buy a nice frame for your Handprint Hanukkah craft and give it to a loved one for Hanukkah!
