The wonderment of Hanukkah shines through the eyes of the young, as the candles light, the dreidels spin, and chocolates are shared. A children’s menorah gives a sense of participation and is the perfect gift. Whether it’s for lighting the candles, or a toy, early involvement helps develop lifelong rituals.
When I was a little girl, we just had two menorahs. One was the traditional family menorah, and then all the kids shared another. It was ultimately passed down to my sister and is now used by my oldest niece. In her family, each of the kids now have their own menorah.
Below, we share a collection of fun kid’s menorahs. We haven’t tried them all, but we have looked carefully at the reviews and the images. Our collection ranges from traditional children’s menorahs to sports, flowers, spirals, rainbows, and a variety of other options.

Kid's Menorahs
Fairytale Wonderland Hanukkah Menorah
I only wish this fairyland menorah was available when my girls were little, as I know it would have been an instant hit. Colorful and fun, it is laser-cut and hand-painted in Israel by Yair Emanuel.
A booklet with the blessing and favorite Hanukkah songs is included with the menorah.
Measures: 9 x 5.5 x 4 inches
Children's Train Hanukkah Menorah
I think it's the spinning wheels that make this steam train-shaped menorah such a hit with kids. Made in Israel by Yair Emanuel, its three train compartments include an engine car that holds the shamash. It's even available in different colors.
A pamphlet with the blessings in both English and Hebrew is included, plus optional candles.
Measures: 13.2 x 3.1 inches

Firetruck Menorah
While kids love the firetruck, my favorite feature is the dalmation sitting at a hydrant that has a fire hose attached. It's made by Aviv Judaica from ceramic with metal candle holders.
Measures: 4 x 3 x 10 inches

Metal Sports Hanukkah Menorah
There are two versions of this hand-painted metal sports menorah. The one shown here features a male baseball, football, and basketball player. The other option features three girls: a figure skater, field hockey player, and tennis player.
Fun, but probably best suited for older kids.
Measures 11.75 x 9.5 inches
Fire Engine Hanukkah Menorah
Hand-painted, this laser-cut menorah features a fire engine and an active firefighter putting out the flames.
A booklet with the blessing and favorite Hanukkah songs is included with the menorah.
Measures: 9 x 5.5 x 4 inches

Hanukkah Menorah with Traditional Star
A more traditional menorah with the Star of David in the center. It's the rainbow of color in the candle holders that kids like. This one comes with the candles.
- Measures: 9 x 8 x 4 inches

First Responders Menorah
This ceramic menorah is perfect for the future first responder. It features an ER ambulance, firetruck, and police car Menora. By Aviv Judaica.
Measures: 9.75 x 2.5 x 3.5 inches
Spiral Rainbow Hanukkah Menorah
Another current favorite of mine, this one from Yair Emanuel probably wasn't designed specifically to be a children's menorah, but take a look at it. What kid wouldn't love the big spiral or the rainbow of colors?
It's unusual and looks great on the shelves all year. A pamphlet with the blessings in both English and Hebrew is included, plus optional candles.
Measures: 12 X 7 inches

Sports Menorah
Baseball, basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse, tennis, and hockey; this is the menorah for kids who are sports fans.
Measures: 14 x 7.2 x 6.1 inches
Blue Menorah with Flowers
Made from polyester by Israeli artist Yair Emanuel, this light blue menorah is decorated with floral elements and swirling patterns. Not specifically made for children, it will quickly become a family favorite.

Measures: 5.9 x 8.2 inches

Children's Train Menorah

Everyone loves dreidels, making this colorful porcelain menorah a family favorite.
