WHAT YOU NEED

HOW TO DO IT

Lift up each of the corner flaps at the top of the NESTLÉ JUICY JUICE box.
(PARENTS ONLY) Use a pair of safety scissors to make a slit all of the way around the top of the NESTLÉ JUICY JUICE box, so that you are left with an open top.
Rinse the box and let it dry.
(PARENTS ONLY) Spray paint each of the boxes blue. These are the "candles' of the Menorah.
Draw the Star of David on the front of each box with silver puffy paint.
Use a craft glue gun to glue the boxes together. Make sure that the stars are facing the front and the tallest box is in the middle with 4 of the smaller boxes on each side.
Cut nine 7-inch squares of red cellophane paper and nine 7-inch squares of yellow cellophane paper.
Place one red square of cellophane on top of one yellow, pinch together in the #162er and stuff into the #162er NESTLÉ JUICY JUICE box "candle".
Add the cellophane "flame" to one of the eight "candles" every night of Hanukkah
Your child can place this on a windowsill shelf in their bedroom.

TIPS

Adding twinkle light behind the menorah illuminates the red and yellow paper and gives it a nice glow.
