Children will create two unique wax candles using coloured beads. Children will have the opportunity to decorate their glass jars using supplied materials.

Once the candle is made – the candle is taken home where it can be lit (by a parent) and the wax beads melt down to a liquid state at this point. When it is extinguished, the wax solidifies creating a solid top to the candle.
