Crafts with children: paint and decorate candles
Crafts with children provide an opportunity to enjoy lovely family time on a cold day and discover children’s talents. This idea is well suited both for small children and for elementary school students. You will need the following materials:
Materials One or two candles, white tissue paper, patterns and flowers, pencils, wax paper, hair dryer and scissors
Crafts with children: painting guide
Cut a piece of tissue paper and a piece of wax paper so they can wrap around the candle. Let your child draw a picture on the white tissue paper. Attach the tissue paper around the candle. Then wrap the wax paper around the tissue paper. The idea is that the wax paper will hold the tissue paper in place on the candle. Use a hair dryer to fix the wax paper to the candle. Pay attention to the color of the wax paper; once it turns yellow, move the hair dryer a few inches away.
Attach a picture to the candle: DIY tips with children
At this stage, you can leave the task to an older child, but you should always be careful. Another alternative is to copy a child’s drawing onto tissue paper. The task is very popular with little ones because it combines crafting with painting and, of course, leaves a lot of freedom for imagination. Children are sure to enjoy the final result and can show it proudly. It is also very suitable as a Mother’s Day gift idea. We wish you lots of fun crafting with kids.
