Flat Menorah
Important note: For fire safety, use nonflammable markers to color the menorah. For best results, allow the ink to dry fully before handling your Flat Menorah.
A menorah is a special candleholder that we use during Hanukkah. Every year, we make a new menorah and add it to our family menorah collection. This year, we came up with a flat menorah for you to build and color! What colors will yours be?

Candle and Fire Safety
Lighting candles are a fun and important part of celebrating Hanukkah. The safety of our community is our top priority so please be aware of the following fire safety precautions:
Lighting the menorah is a ritual that requires adult supervision.
Only burn candles within sight.
Keep candles away from things that can catch fire.
Keep candles and fire away from children.
Candles are not a toy.
The Days Flat Menorah is not to be used with candles greater than 4” tall.
Menorahs provided by Days can hold a maximum of 9 candles.
Menorahs provided by Days should not be moved after candles have been lit.
