Easy Things to Draw for Hanukkah
Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights, so its drawings are all about glow: candles, flames, and a warm window at night. The main symbols — a menorah, a dreidel, a plate of latkes — are built from simple lines and shapes, which makes them easy for kids to draw over the eight nights.

What to draw for Hanukkah
A Hanukkah menorah has nine branches: eight candles in a row plus a taller helper candle, the shamash, usually in the middle. Kids can draw one straight line for the base, a stem, and nine short lines for the branches, then add flames for however many nights have passed. A dreidel is a square body with a pointed bottom and a little handle, with room for one of its four letters. Blue, white, silver, and gold give the whole page a festive feel.
Hanukkah drawing tips
- 1Count the candles. Draw the menorah on a real night of Hanukkah: one flame per night, plus the shamash that lights the others.
- 2Make the flames glow. Color a yellow flame, then add a soft orange ring around it so the candles look like they shine.
- 3Show the spin. A few curved lines beside a dreidel make it look like it is whirling across the table.
