Yesterday at our home education group the children made candles. We all donated our old candles, wax beads and wicks for the activity, and the children all brought along a teacup or jar to fill. We split the candles into colours to be melted down, and added wax crayons to the wax beads and white candles to give us a whole rainbow of colours. Then as each colour was ready the children poured them in layers into their chosen recepticle.
It worked really well (after a little bit of trial and error in the melting department - who knew candles wouldn't melt in a microwave? Not me!!) and we had some beautiful candles at the end.
