Great all round kit easy to use candles smell great

I received this candle set for my first Thanksgiving craft class and it was beautiful and easy to use. The kids had to make their own candles to take home to the Thanksgiving tables. In our class there are children from 6 to 11 years old and none of them have worked with beeswax before. With a little pre-modeling, everyone could make their own candles, which they proudly took home! An additional bonus: the beeswax candles exude a wonderful, subtle honey scent when burning! The set includes a variety of colors and the wick you need for 20 taper candles. (Simply cut each sheet in half following the instructions for making cones.) You can also make different sizes and styles by cutting the wax differently - YouTube has lots of beginner-friendly videos on how to make other styles. The only thing you will want to use with this kit is a hair dryer. Quickly run the hair dryer over the sheet before rolling the candles, it's even easier. We also used small clay Kemper Pattern Cutters to cut out some decorative wax pieces (just press the cut out shapes into the cone and your body heat is enough to glue them), but the candles were good even without the extra detail . . If you want kids to think about where wax comes from and how it's made, you can read a book like The Beekeeper Man before you start making candles. Candle sets considering the number of candles produced,

Pros
  • Children may outgrow their toys but they are never too old to have fun making their own beeswax candles. Lots of activities for all ages, especially as a birthday party, rainy day event or benefit event! If you love beeswax candles, you will love making them!
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank
