We’ve been on a roll making kid-friendly menorahs that kids can pretend to light here in my daycare this week.
The other day, I shared our toilet roll menorah, which is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers. Today, I’m sharing our wine cork and toothpick menorah. This menorah is geared for slightly older children as fine-motor skills are required to insert the toothpick wicks with their paper flames into the cork candles.

Making this menorah is a fun and creative activity that all ages will enjoy, and your child will end up with a lovely keepsake that they can display and use year after year.
Glitter is optional
You only need a few basic supplies to make this menorah – a small cardboard box (we used a cake mix box), a handful of toothpicks and a few wine corks. Paint and glue are a must of course, and glitter is totally optional.
I hope you have as much fun making your menorah as we had making ours.
Happy Hanukkah!
